Ingredients
Method
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Mix thoroughly until all coconut is coated.
- Add the vanilla extract and, if using, the chopped nuts. Gently fold them into the coconut mixture.
- Add the powdered sugar, mixing until a workable, slightly firm dough forms that can be rolled into balls.
- Roll the dough into uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Return to the baking sheet.
- Chill the coated balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
Notes
These coconut cream balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or coatings!
