So May 4th it was the perfect day to make a stop at the Sunday Market.
After a quick stop at a stand with delicious Spanish hams, we walked by a stand which said " We <3 cocos". (translates to English; We love coconut). And coincidentally there is a weak coconut spot inside of me as well. After some research I found out that " We <3 Cocos" is a creation of Pieman.nl .
Pieman.nl is a bakery which bakes, amongst others, a various range of English pies.
I saw a display window with heaps of coconut balls. They all looked the same, but don't we all know ..... looks can be deceiving. So although they looked the same they are flavoured in 4 different ways. 1) plain coconut, 2) dark chocolate, 3) white chocolate, 4) ginger/pepper. We got the plain, dark chocolate & white chocolate versions.
The balls are made of raw coconut, with some sugar, vanilla and egg whites. So gluten free and they sure do taste DE-LI-CIOUS. It's of course sweet, but not too overwhelming and still a bit chewy.
The one with the dark chocolate reminds me of a bounty bar but much better. Instead of chocolate covered coconut the chocolate is scattered around here and there. Which is perfect because it's all about the coconut with every now and then the taste of chocolate.
The white chocolate one doesn't really do it for me. I think it's even kinda funny tasting. Doesn't really ad anything to it.
Next time I am going to try the ginger-pepper one.
It's two thumbs up for the coconut balls / cocos balls from We <3 Cocos (Pieman.nl) .
