Coconut Joys

2 cups unsweetened coconut shavings (dry)
1/4 cup honey gel or plain honey (add a tablespoon at a time)
1/2 recipe Chocolate cake Frosting (use as little water as possible)

Place the coconut in a dry blade blender or food processor and grind until very fine and oily. Pour into a bowl and add the gel or honey a little at a time.  Using a fork, blend together until a very stiff dough is formed.  Break dough into small balls and place on wax paper a waxed serving tray. Press each ball down, until a pit is formed.  Put the frosting in a bag, and squeeze into the coconut pits.  Freeze until set.  Store extras in a freezer safe container.  The girls loved these.

Honey gel:

1/4 cup honey
1 cup cold water
1 Tbs Arrowroot powder

Blend all ingredients in a blender.  Pour into a saucepan and heat over med until mixture thickens.  Cool completely and store in the fridge.  I use this gel as filling in cinnamon rolls and in the place of shortening or butter.
