Tips:
- Use unsweetened coconut flakes for a healthier and more natural taste.
- Chill the coconut balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in the chocolate, this will help the chocolate set faster and more evenly.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- To make the mocha sauce, use a good quality instant coffee or espresso powder for the best flavor.
- You can also use other types of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, in the coconut balls.
