No bake coconut cream balls
INGREDIENTS
2 ½ cups shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup chopped nuts optional
8 oz white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate melted
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and optional nuts.
Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate and return it to the tray.
Refrigerate again for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
NOTES
Dip fingers in warm water to prevent sticking while rolling.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge before serving.
For dairy-free: use vegan condensed milk and dairy-free chocolate.
