Balinese Bliss Bites

Ingredients

Coconut Filling

• 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Dough

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Zest of 1 lime

Instructions

1. Prepare the Coconut Filling: In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut milk, coconut sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Mix well and set aside.

2. Make the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, melted coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and lime zest until a soft dough forms.

3. Assemble the Bites: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Scoop a heaping teaspoon of the coconut filling and place it in the center of the dough. Gently fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

5. Place the assembled bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is lightly golden. Allow the bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Serve the Balinese Bliss Bites at room temperature. Enjoy the tropical flavors and textures in every bite!
