Ingredients
Scale
For the Coconut Balls:
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For the Coating:
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smooth dipping)
Instructions
Make the Coconut Mixture
- Mix Coconut Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well combined and a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the coconut mixture into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Chill the Coconut Balls
- Chill: Pop the tray into the fridge for about 15-30 minutes to allow the coconut balls to firm up.
Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
- Dip the Coconut Balls: Remove the chilled coconut balls from the fridge. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Return the chocolate-covered balls to the tray.
Let the Chocolate Set
- Chill Again: Place the coconut balls back in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
