Ingredients

• 200 grams sweetened shredded coconut
• 150 grams sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture holds together.

Step 3

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into small mounds, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 cm (1 inch) of space between each mound.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 5

While the coconut mounds cool, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Once the coconut mounds are completely cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each mound using a spoon or piping bag. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.

Step 7

Serve and enjoy your Coconut Bursts! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
