Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional
- 8 oz white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate melted
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. If using, fold in the chopped nuts. Mix until everything is well combined and forms a thick, sticky dough.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to set.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white or semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Dip Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Return the balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set: Let the chocolate-covered balls sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
