Ingredients
- 250 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 ml Condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut with condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Step 3
Using clean hands, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small cone or peak. Place each peak onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Step 4
Repeat with the rest of the mixture until all peaks are formed. Refrigerate the tray for 1 hour to allow the peaks to firm up.
Step 5
While the peaks chill, chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it. Use a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth.
Step 6
Stir the coconut oil into the melted chocolate to thin it slightly and give it a glossy finish.
Step 7
Remove the chilled peaks from the refrigerator. Dip the base of each peak into the melted chocolate, then drizzle additional chocolate over the tops if desired.
Step 8
Place the chocolate-coated peaks back on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
