Ingredients
- 200 grams Desiccated coconut
- 200 milliliters Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of desiccated coconut with 200 milliliters of sweetened condensed milk. Mix until well blended and sticky.
Step 2
Add 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coconut mixture. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture looks uniform in color.
Step 3
Use your hands to scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make about 20 balls.
Step 4
Place the formed balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Allow them to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 5
Meanwhile, melt 200 grams of dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon of butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between.
Step 6
Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove it from the heat.
Step 7
Take the chilled coconut balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's completely coated, and then place it back onto the parchment paper.
Step 8
Immediately sprinkle a little of the extra desiccated coconut on each chocolate-coated ball before the chocolate sets.
Step 9
Once all the balls are coated, return the tray to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has set completely.
Step 10
Serve chilled as a delicious sweet treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
