Place one cup of desiccated coconut into a shallow bowl or container and set aside.
Place all remaining ingredients into a food processor and blitz until the mixture comes together. If it gets stuck, add a dash of water to get it moving and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Scoop out mixture and using your hands roll into balls (you can make as big or small as you like).
Place balls in the bowl of coconut and roll to coat.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
