I guess this recipe is my Proust’s madeleine, one bite of these delicious chocolate and coconut balls and I am back in time, in another kitchen, on a footstool with my hands covered with coconut flour, next to my mum
Mamma Flora’s Tip: if you have a party, make double the amount, they will go very quickly!
