Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook coconut and agave syrup filling in a small pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it gets sticky.

Wet your hands and knead the dough for 1 minute. Roll dough out on a rice flour-dusted work surface. Roll out like a pastry. Cut into 2-inch rounds.

Put filling in the center of each roll. Fold in half and seal edges by pinching with fingertips.
