Ingredients
- 250 grams Crushed biscuits (e.g., digestive or graham crackers)
- 200 grams Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 120 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 150 grams Desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the crushed biscuits and desiccated coconut, setting aside 50 grams of coconut for rolling later.
Step 2
Drain the canned pineapple thoroughly to remove most of the liquid, then add it to the bowl.
Step 3
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, add the vanilla extract, and sprinkle in a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Mix the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until a sticky, moldable dough forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add additional crushed biscuits by the tablespoon until you reach the right consistency.
Step 5
Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon) of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
Step 6
Spread the reserved desiccated coconut on a plate and roll each ball in the coconut to coat evenly.
Step 7
Place the finished pineapple balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 8
Serve chilled and enjoy this sweet, tropical treat!
