In a large saucepan, bring almond milk to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in cacao powder and reduce heat to medium-low.
Add vanilla extract, maple syrup and coconut oil. When coconut oil has melted, add chili powder ¼ tsp at a time until desired heat is reached (note that oats and coconut will cut the spiciness). Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add oats and shredded coconut, and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until handle-able.
Roll mixture into 1 inch balls and refrigerate.
