Ingredients
Scale
For the Coconut Balls:
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother texture)
For Coating and Rolling:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Extra shredded coconut for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
- Shape the Balls: Scoop out heaping teaspoons of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes.
- Coat with White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, then dip each coconut ball into the chocolate. Place back on parchment paper and optionally roll in extra shredded coconut. Chill until firm.
Notes
- For a flavor twist, add almond extract or press an almond into the center before rolling.
