Ingredients
- 400 grams Dulce de leche
- 250 grams Plain digestive biscuits
- 100 grams Shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the plain digestive biscuits in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until they resemble coarse crumbs.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and dulce de leche. Stir together until fully incorporated and the mixture is sticky and holds its shape when pressed.
Step 3
If you're using cocoa powder, sift it into the mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Place the shredded coconut on a large plate or shallow bowl.
Step 5
Take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form smooth, bite-sized balls.
Step 6
Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
Step 7
Once all the balls are made, transfer them to a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Step 8
Serve the dulce de leche balls chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
