Mango Coconut Balls
These no-bake mango coconut balls are super easy to make and are raw, vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly.
The combination of mango and coconut never gets old, and these mango coconut balls is a super easy way to get your fix.
To make these mango coconut balls, just throw all of the ingredients in your food processor and pulse until a ball forms. Roll in coconut and freeze for about 20 minutes and devour.
I was inspired to create these no-bake coconut balls after I was overwhelmed with emails about the chocolate balls. I was determined to make coconut balls that were just as fabulous.
My friends Olivia and Tara helped me perfect these mango coconut balls last weekend.
When we all put our spoons in to test the blend, we felt like there was just a little something missing. I was thinking of putting some freshly grated ginger in the mixture to boost the flavors and give the mix a bit of a kick. But I was afraid it would make these balls a bit unpalatable for children.
Olivia had been grating lemon zest for the lemon asparagus risotto and there was a delicious aroma of citrus dancing around our noses.
Tara lovingly looked over to the mound of lemon magic (that, in my humble opinion, improves any blend) offered, “How about lemon zest?”
No sooner had the words rolled off her tongue, I had snatched the lemon zest with the enthusiasm of a raw foodie on too much date paste and these mango coconut balls were a-pulsing with glee.
As the spoons hit our lips on the next taste we nodded our heads in unison, “Mmmm….Perfection!”
This sentiment was echoed by Mika, Liz and Gina when they tried these mango coconut balls.
These mango coconut balls are a fantastic allergy-free snack for children.
However, please note that because there is coconut oil in these coconut balls they do not fare well in the heat as the coconut oil will melt.
Keep these coconut balls in the fridge or freezer.
If you can’t find dried mango, these coconut balls are also amazing with dried apricots.

I could not get enough of these delicious treats…so yum!
LOL! Yes, they are hard to quit eating!
These mango coconut balls were absolutely scrumptious!! Yes, I was part of the process of “creating” them (not really, but added my two cents!) But seriously, I am not a big fan of coconut and devoured as many of these that night as I could. I would have eaten more but was already filled up by the Raw Lasagna!! These balls would go over at any dinner party, school event or church gathering:-) Thanks Tess, for “cooking” up the idea!!!
Beautiful Tara! I just LOVE you!!!!
These balls would NOT have tasted this good without your creative input.
How much fun was that Pride and Prejudice night?! SO wonderful! xxx
Mango and Cocount is the Brangelina of the food world! They are just so good together! These delicious treats will not let you put them down! I too had the pleasure of being there that glorious night of culinary creativity. Can’t wait to do it again! Yum!
HA! What a fun night that was!
Stop it!!! these were heavenly….I can’t bear it!
Ha! You are SO funny Liz!
This mango coconut balls are to die for! I will be making them to take to summer pool party this Sunday and I know I will be very popular thanks to this recipe 🙂
Awesome!
I made these for a dear, paleo-eating friend’s birthday and even our non-paleo friends loved them. I halved the batch and also made some rolled in chopped roasted cashews and coconut, then toasted them and they were so awesome they were gone first! Thanks for the tasty and easy recipe!
Hey Piggy Christina
Thanks for sharing that wonderful idea. I bet they were YUMMY! Oink Oink 🙂
Mango and coconut rolled into one? This would surely create a distinct flavor. Can’t wait to whip my own batch.
Awesome!
Great recipe Blender girl! They look delicious. Just a quick question though- where would I get dried unsulphured mango from? thanks.
Hey Cathy,
If you live in America, you can purchase unsulphured dried mango from Trader Joes.
You can also make your own by slicing fresh mango and dehydrating it.
Alternatively, this recipe works really well with dried apricots! YUMMO!
OMG MY FLIPPIN BATMAN!!! These are unbelievably DELICIOUS!!!!!!! 5 stars Tess!!!!!
Thrilled that you loved Mr Darcy’s balls! LOL!
Before I converted to health food, I was a massive fan of traditional chocolate rum balls. Now, I’m estatic to find a healthy, delicious alternative. Thanks Blender Girl :))
Yes! I LOVE chocolate balls too! These are a great alternative.
FRESH fresh FRESH! These are lovely little bites of tropical heaven!
FRESH!
I still dream of our Pride & Prejudice evening… the food was sooo very yummy I’m counting the minutes until we convene for our next viewing party! These mango coconut balls were beyond delish – I asked Tess just yesterday if she could make me more. She’s my hero!
Gina!
I know! We need to have another party. Mr Darcy’s balls ROCK! I will make some more for you soon xxx
Oh so delish! Love it!
SO deeeelish!
I love mango, and I know that the mango makes this recipe, but what would be a great alternative to mango if I have none on hand? 🙂
Hey Kristina,
Dried apricots work beautifully in this recipe.
You could really adapt this with lots of different dried fruits, but you may have to adjust the quantities in order to get the right consistency. Enjoy 🙂
what could i replace the agave sirup with?
You could use coconut nectar. I use agave very rarely now. So have used coconut nectar in this recipe and it is great.
What can you substitute for agave
You can use coconut nectar in place of the agave.
What about blended dates to sub agave?
Yes, you could use those too!
So glad you enjoyed them. Thankyou for the lovely comments about the site.
Can you use fresh mango instead of soaking dried mango?
Sally, fresh mango makes these too mushy, and they don’t keep very long.
