At villaoliveyou, the art of living blends with gastronomy to offer a true sensory journey. Coconut balls, with their melting texture and delicate flavor, are a must in Provençal pastry. These little treats, made with coconut, can be prepared at home to share a convivial moment with family or friends.

Coconut Balls Recipe

To make these treats, start by beating 100g of butter with 100g of powdered sugar and 50g of vanilla sugar until creamy. Add one egg, 150g of flour, 50g of cornstarch, half a teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous dough.

Form balls of about 11 grams and let them rest in the fridge for 10 minutes while preheating your oven to 180°C. Bake for about 10 minutes. The cookies should remain white and slightly golden underneath, allowing them to keep that unique texture that melts in the mouth.

A Touch of Jam

While your coconut balls cool, prepare a delicious accompaniment. Heat 100g of your choice of jam in a saucepan over low heat until it becomes liquid. Dip each coconut ball in the warm jam, then roll them in grated coconut for a tasty and aesthetic finish.

These treats are perfect for a gourmet coffee or to enhance a brunch at villaoliveyou, where local gastronomy makes perfect sense.
