Ingredients
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
2. Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
3. Scoop and roll into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place on a lined tray.
4. Freeze the balls for 15–20 minutes to help them hold shape.
5. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.
7. Place coated balls back on the tray and let excess chocolate drip off.
8. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
9. Optionally, sprinkle extra coconut or toppings before the chocolate fully sets.
Notes
Chill the mixture well before shaping to avoid sticky handling
Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother coating and better flavor
Keep the balls cold while dipping to maintain their shape and texture
