In Scotland, we put two of these together, sandwiched with Strawberry jam. That's what we know as Snowballs.

[@viviennenesbitt8797]

Yes that's the ones I'm remembering! Yummy 😋

[@reikiwithcary2682]

That is how I have had them here in the states.... soooo gooood!

[@sarojininaidu310]

We also sandwiched two together with strawberry jam in South Africa. So yummy.

[@Kulvinder1974]

Wow!!! My mouth is watering just listening to your description.

[@chefevilee9377]

This looks like a delightful little cake. Well, the only change that I would make is to use less sugar. So I would probably put flaked coconut on the outside that hasn’t been sweetened. I am not very good with eating sugar or chocolate as of late. They call it intolerance. But I have learned if I buy really expensive cocoa powder from the Santa Barbara chocolate people and I mix up my own chocolate I can have a little bit. So what I do is mix 1 tablespoons of coconut oil with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Then I mix in 2 tablespoons of their red vegan cocoa powder. So it actually makes like a chocolate shell. That’s what I would use on the bottom with unrefined coconut oil so you could taste more coconut.

[@myridian4516]

Theres a substitute for chocolate i believe its called carob?im not too sure about it but ive seen it used for dog food.

[@christinebrannigan1288]

Love these I definitely will be making these

I can’t believe I am just finding this channel 😂 I feel cheated of yummy recipes. Thank you for sharing!

[@MDyson151]

Perfection today, again! I think I didn't add enough bicarbonate though. Happy accident as the bottoms were beautifully flat so no trimming. Yes, greasing and dusting the moulds did the trick, the cakes just slid out. Used lemon juice for the icing as suggested, gives a nice zing with the rest being so sweet. You are my new baking hero John!!

Delicious! I personally would toast the coconut, as I'm more a fan of the nuttier flavour. Though I guess then they'd be dirty snowballs 😅

I've never seen or heard of these and they do look delicious. As a kid my mum made a coconut bu which was a pasty case filled with jam and a coconut mixture. I can't remember what they are called but they didn't last very long :)

[@Pteromandias]

Haha! I wanted that name to follow the other one that was on there that was "Hello Again My Name's John" but I guess he dropped off. It was perfect because they were alphabetical. Anyway, I thought of you when I was in Savannah Georgia a few weeks ago. There was this little British-themed shop that sold meat pies, pasties and other stuff. Now that I know how good they are I'm going to go back through the archives and find those recipes, especially the curry chicken one. I especially liked that one.

I need your opinion. I live in the US and my oven only can be set in 25°F increments. So if one of your recipes says 338°; should I put mine in at 325° and go long on the timer or 350° and go short on the timer?
