Divide into 16 evenly sized portions and roll into balls.

Sprinkle a layer of desiccated coconut on a separate plate and gently roll the balls to coat.

Making by hand: Finely chop the mango (soak your mango in cold water for five minutes to soften if necessary), substitute ready-made cashew nut butter for the cashews, and mix in the powders and juice.
