Tamarind Balls
Tamarind balls are sweet, sour, sticky mounds of tamarind pulp coated with sugar. This Caribbean bite-sized treat takes less than 10 minutes to make with only 3 ingredients. It doesn't get easier or tastier than this!
Servings: 20 servings
Ingredients
- 400 g Tamarind Pulp (14oz)
- 2 cups Cane Sugar or coconut sugar, divided for dusting, adjust as desired
Instructions
- Pour about a 1/2 cup of sugar onto a plate for dusting and set aside. Then, in a bowl, add the tamarind pulp, sugar and any additional add-ins if using. Using your hands, knead/press to combine the ingredients until the sugar dissolves into the pulp and the mixture becomes very sticky.
- Take a small piece of the tamarind mixture and roll it in your hands until it forms a ball, then roll in prepared sugar to coat. Repeat until finished, then set aside on parchment paper and enjoy.
