Ingredients
- 200 grams Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or butter (optional, for chocolate coating)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into small balls or bars using your hands. For consistency, you can use a tablespoon-sized scoop to portion the mixture.
Step 3
Place the shaped coconut treats onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
If using chocolate coating, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil (or butter) together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until completely smooth.
Step 5
Dip each chilled coconut treat into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the treat out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off, then place it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Once all the treats are coated, return them to the refrigerator for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
Step 7
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
