- For Rolling as part of decoration:
- Prepare coconut for rolling by combining 1/3 cup of coconut with a few drops of food colouring and mix well.
- To make the stuffed balls:
- Take small amount (about 1 teaspoon full) of coconut mixture and roll into a ball between your palms then flatten by pressing down.
- Now take a piece of date (about 1/4 tsp) and place onto centre of flattened ball.
- (I like to roll the date into a small ball then place it)
- Close coconut mixture over the date and roll into a ball again.
- Drop coconut ball into coloured coconut and roll to cover with a layer of coloured coconut.
- Decorate with coloured almond bits or as you prefer with a piece of cherry, etc.
