Labneh balls with coconut are a chilled snack made by shaping thick labneh into small rounds and coating them with coconut. Recipes may add a sweetener or other coatings, so the finished balls can range from tangy to dessert-like.
To make labneh balls with coconut, shape thick labneh into small rounds, then roll each one in desiccated coconut. If the labneh is loose, drain it first; chilling the shaped balls before serving helps them keep their form.
Labneh balls with coconut can be either sweet or savory, though many versions are lightly sweetened. Honey or another sweetener makes them more dessert-like, while plain labneh keeps the tangy flavor prominent and works well with savory additions.
Labneh balls with coconut are best kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eaten within a few days. Because labneh is a fresh dairy food, return the balls to the fridge promptly rather than leaving them out for extended serving.
Yes, you can freeze labneh balls with coconut, but thawing may make the labneh softer or slightly grainy. Freeze them in a closed container and thaw them in the refrigerator; roll them in fresh coconut again if the coating becomes damp.
Labneh balls with coconut are hard to roll when the labneh contains too much moisture or has not been chilled. Drain loose labneh, refrigerate the mixture before shaping, and add a little more desiccated coconut if it still feels sticky.
Yes, labneh balls with coconut can be made without added sugar. The result will taste tangier and less like a dessert; if you add a sweetener, mix it in gradually because extra liquid can make the labneh mixture harder to shape.
Yes, fresh coconut can coat labneh balls with coconut, but it adds more moisture than desiccated coconut. The coating may be less crisp and the balls softer, so use finely grated coconut and serve them soon after preparing.
Labneh balls with coconut pair well with fresh fruit, nuts, or coffee when served as a sweet snack. For a savory version, serve them with crackers or vegetables; keep the accompaniments separate until serving so the coating stays intact.
No, labneh balls with coconut do not need cooking; they are assembled from ready-to-eat labneh and coconut. Chilling them is useful, though, because it firms the labneh and makes the balls easier to serve.

Labneh balls with coconut are made by shaping labneh—a thick, tangy strained-yogurt cheese associated with the Levant—into small rounds and coating them in shredded coconut. They are a simple, no-bake snack rather than a single fixed traditional recipe, and the coating gives the creamy dairy centre a distinct finish.
Expect a lightly chewy, coconut-covered outside and a soft, rich middle. Serve them chilled as a small snack, with fruit or alongside tea or coffee; in the Levant, labneh is also commonly enjoyed at breakfast, though these balls are a more playful serving. They are high in fat and relatively low in carbohydrate. Smaller portions with fresh fruit make for a lighter-feeling plate.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
