Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients form a thick, sticky dough.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before shaping.
Once all the bonbons are shaped, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each bonbon into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the bonbon back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle the top of each bonbon with a pinch of shredded coconut or sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the chocolate coating to set completely by placing the bonbons in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Once set, store the bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
