📋 Ingredients:
- 🥥 2 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 🥛 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 🍚 1 cup powdered sugar
- 🍫 1 1/2 cups semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 🧈 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
📝 Directions:
- Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and a sticky dough forms.
- Form the Balls: Using your hands, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) from the coconut mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Coconut Balls: Remove the coconut balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to help coat them evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set the Chocolate: Once all the coconut balls are coated, place them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve: Your No-Bake Coconut Cream Balls are ready to enjoy! Serve them chilled or at room temperature.
