I skipped making them into balls.  I just poured it on a cookie sheet, froze, and broke into bark.  So yummy and a great way for daily coconut consumption.

I added some stevia and rolled these in finely chopped salted almonds. They were like truffles, delicious.

I made this for Christmas and I think it was a lovely dessert. But, I added some honey when I was mixing everything because this basically called for no sweetening at all, and I think a bit was needed. I also added a bit of sugar to the coconut coating to give it a little more sweet taste. That is just my preference, these little balls were very coconutty and delicious whether sweetening was added or not.

Coconut Cream Concentrate (according to the website) is also known as Coconut Butter, Coconut Manna.  Essentially it is the whole coconut minus the water (meat and oil). 

What you are mentioning would not substitute well as it would affect the firm texture to give you the ability to make them into ball form.

What is coconut cream concentrate?  Where do you find that ingredient?  I am not familiar with it.  Can you use coconut milk??
