Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Shredded coconut
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 200 grams Dark or milk chocolate (your preference)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Mix well using a spatula or your hands until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should end up with about 20 balls.
Freeze the coconut balls for 30 minutes to firm up. This will make them easier to dip in chocolate.
While the coconut balls are chilling, melt the chocolate. Break the chocolate into pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over a double boiler. If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier dipping.
Remove the coconut balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off and return the coated ball to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the balls are coated, return them to the fridge for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Enjoy your homemade Bounty Balls straight from the fridge or at room temperature! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
