Ingredients
Scale
1 (14-ounce) bag sweetened shredded coconut
2 cups powdered sugar
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (10-ounce) bag milk chocolate melts or almond bark
Instructions
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the mixture is thick and fully blended.
- Shape the Balls: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Lightly coat your hands with non-stick spray to prevent sticking, then roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate the balls for at least one hour, or place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm them up quickly.
- Melt the Chocolate: Add chocolate melts to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip in Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Transfer to a clean wax paper-lined tray.
- Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the chocolate-dipped balls until the coating is firm.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Notes
For easier dipping, freeze the coconut balls before coating them in chocolate.
Use non-stick spray on your hands to keep the mixture from sticking while shaping.
These store well, so they’re great to make ahead for parties or gifts.
