Ingredients
2½ cups shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
8 oz white or semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until fully combined. Fold in chopped nuts if using.
Form the Balls
Roll mixture into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze to Set
Freeze the coconut balls for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Dip and Coat
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate to coat. Return to the lined tray.
Set and Serve
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Nut-Free Option: Simply omit nuts for a smoother texture.
Flavor Twist: Add a few drops of almond or coconut extract for extra depth.
Make Ahead: These store beautifully in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Decorative Touch: Sprinkle with extra coconut or drizzle with dark chocolate before the coating sets.
