Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Mix until fully combined.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the coconut balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Refrigerate for another 15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
Notes
- For a healthier option, you can substitute almond flour for some of the shredded coconut.
- If you prefer a pure coconut flavor without chocolate, roll the chilled balls in extra dry shredded coconut instead of dipping them in chocolate.
- These coconut balls freeze well for later enjoyment.
