Kid-friendly, allergy-friendly, and oh-so-delicious, this recipe is everything you want in a snack, and nothing that you don’t. Rorie recommends sneaking in collagen powder to add some protein no one will know about! Plus, the extra protein balls can be repurposed as chunks in your cookie dough ice cream, although we don’t think your kids will leave any over!

Yields: 28 protein balls

Ingredients

Cookie Dough Protein Balls

  • 1/2 cup sunflower butter (or nut butter of choice) 

  • 1/4 cup Gefen Honey or maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons collagen powder or other protein powder (optional) 

  • 1/2 cup golden ground flax meal 

  • 1 cup shredded coconut flakes, plus extra for optional coating

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla 

  • 1/3 cup Gefen Mini Chocolate Chips, cocoa nibs, or a combination of the two

Vanilla Maple Ice Cream

  • 3 tablespoons Haddar Cashew Butter (optional, but adds creaminess and improves texture)

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract  

Directions

Prepare the Cookie Dough Protein Balls

1.

Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix to combine. Form into 28 small balls (see note). Dip each ball into additional coconut flakes if desired.

2.

Place in the freezer until firm.

Notes:

To use in ice cream, either prepare mini balls or make standard-size balls and cut them in quarters. 

Prepare the Vanilla Maple Ice Cream

1.

Using a blender, combine all ingredients.

2.

Add mixture to an ice cream maker and prepare according to machine directions. Alternatively, if you don’t have an ice cream maker, after combining ingredients in the blender, freeze mixture in ice cube trays, then blend the frozen cubes in a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix.

3.

Gently stir cookie dough protein ball minis or chunks into the creamy ice cream. Freeze.

Yes, you do have to use one if you want it to become soft like ice cream, since it whips air into it. If you just freeze it it’ll become hard as a rock.

I spoke to Rorie and she said there is no substitute for the coconut. She would have to test it out, but the recipe the way it is has to use coconut for it to properly work.

I just saw this was asked before, but I didn’t see a clear answer. Is there a substitute for the coconut flakes in the cookie dough? You mentioned there wasn’t a substitute for the coconut cream, but what about the flakes? Thank you.

What can I use instead of coconut flakes? I like a subtle coconut taste but not flakes of it in my cookie dough. Can I leave it out or will it affect the consistency?

Rorie said there is not substitute for the coconut flakes and you can’t leave it out or it will affect the consistency.

There’s no real identical, healthy, parve, substitute that I know of for coconut cream.
