Cuban Charoset Balls
Published March 21, 2018
This version of charoset is the creation of Jennifer Stempel, and was inspired by Cuban island flavors.
Ingredients:
- 5 oz. dried unsweetened mango, coarsely chopped
- 8 oz. dried unsweetened pineapple, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup almond slivers, toasted
- 2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted, divided
Directions:
In a small bowl, soak the mango in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain well and add to the bowl of a food processor.
Add pineapple, almonds and 1 cup of the coconut to the mango in the food processor; pulse just until mixture starts to form a ball. You should still see some visible chunks.
Form mixture into bite-size balls and place them on a waxed-paper lined pan.
Pour remaining 1 cup of coconut into a small bowl. Roll balls in coconut and transfer to a serving platter.
