Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Desiccated coconut
- 200 grams Condensed milk
- 50 grams Whole almonds
- 150 grams White chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Prepare a baking tray or large plate by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a sticky and well-combined dough forms.
Scoop a small amount of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) into your hand, flatten it slightly, and place a whole almond in the center. Carefully wrap the coconut mixture around the almond, rolling it into a smooth ball.
Repeat this process until all the mixture is used. Place the formed balls on the prepared tray or plate.
Melt the white chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Using a fork or a skewer, dip each coconut ball into the melted white chocolate until it is fully coated. Shake off any excess chocolate and return the ball to the parchment-lined tray.
Let the chocolate-coated balls set at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
Optional: Lightly dust the Christmas balls with powdered sugar for added festive charm.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy these sweet and nutty holiday treats!
