––––––––
3 OUNCES DRIED PINEAPPLE (approx. – when it plumped up it measured ¾ cup)
Water (to soak the pineapple)
1 teaspoon maple syrup
6 teaspoons desiccated or shredded coconut
2 teaspoons coconut flour (may need a smidge more)
Soak the dried pineapple for 2 hours in a bowl. Use enough water to just cover the pineapple.
Drain the water twice using a sieve once the pineapple has plumped up.
Whiz the pineapple, maple syrup, coconut, and coconut flour in a food processor until the pineapple is blended well and the mixture comes together. You may need to use a little more coconut flour to make the mixture stick together.
NOTE: You may still have some hard bits of pineapple or coconut in the balls (if you use shredded coconut) no matter how well you whiz the mixture. And you may get some coconut stuck in your teeth! (Suzanne did!)
Roll into 6 balls.
Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Best eaten day made.
