Description

Sweet and creamy coconut filling wrapped in rich chocolate—an easy, no-bake treat perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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)
  • 8 oz white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Mix Ingredients

  • Combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
  • Mix well until the mixture forms a thick, sticky dough. Fold in chopped nuts if desired.

Step 2: Form Balls

  • Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Freeze for about 30 minutes to set.

Step 3: Melt Chocolate

  • Melt the white or semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.

Step 4: Dip Balls

  • Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  • Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Set

  • Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.

Notes

  1. Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty twist.
  2. Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or white chocolate for added sweetness.
  3. Store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
