Ingredients
  

Coconut Cream Balls Mixture
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional, for extra crunch
  • 8 oz white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate melted

Equipment

  • Microwave-Safe Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and chopped nuts if using.
  2. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a sticky dough.
  3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  4. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to fully coat, then place them back on the parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate the coated balls for an additional 20 minutes or until the chocolate sets completely.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For easier handling, dip your fingers in warm water before rolling the coconut mixture into balls. Store the coconut cream balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
