Crispy Coconut Jam Balls with a Warm, Gooey Centre

If you love the rich, creamy taste of coconut jam, this recipe takes it to another level. These golden Coconut Jam Balls have a soft, crispy outer layer with a warm, gooey coconut jam centre — making them an irresistible treat straight from the oven.

Made with coconut flour, vanilla pea protein and coconut oil, they’re simple to prepare and even better when served warm. For an extra touch of sweetness, finish them with a drizzle of coconut honey.

What You’ll Need

For the Coconut Dough

• 50g Coconut Flour
• 1 scoop Nurtistrength Pea Protein Vanilla
• 1 egg
• 20g Coconut Oil, melted
• 50–100g plant-based yoghurt

For the Filling

• Coconut Jam, chilled

To Finish

• A drizzle of Coconut Honey

How to Make Coconut Jam Balls

1- Prepare the dough

Add the coconut flour, vanilla pea protein, egg and melted coconut oil to a bowl. Start with 50g of plant-based yoghurt and mix everything together. Add a little more yoghurt if needed until the mixture becomes soft enough to hold together when pressed.

2- Prepare the filling

Take a tablespoon of chilled Coconut Jam and gently roll it between your palms to create a small ball. Repeat if making multiple portions.

3- Wrap the jam

Take a slightly larger portion of the dough and flatten it gently. Place a coconut jam ball in the centre, then carefully fold and mould the dough around it until the jam is completely enclosed.

4- Arrange for baking

Place the filled balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each one so they can expand without touching during baking.

5. Bake until golden

Bake at 180°C for 15–20 minutes, or until the outside is lightly golden and crisp.

Remove from the oven and, while the Coconut Jam Balls are still warm, drizzle them with a little Coconut Honey.

Best Served Warm

These Coconut Jam Balls are at their best when served fresh from the oven, when the outside is golden and the coconut jam centre is warm and gooey. Take care when biting into them, as the filling can become very hot.
