Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 ml Condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut with condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Using clean hands, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small cone or peak. Place each peak onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Repeat with the rest of the mixture until all peaks are formed. Refrigerate the tray for 1 hour to allow the peaks to firm up.
While the peaks chill, chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it. Use a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth.
Stir the coconut oil into the melted chocolate to thin it slightly and give it a glossy finish.
Remove the chilled peaks from the refrigerator. Dip the base of each peak into the melted chocolate, then drizzle additional chocolate over the tops if desired.
Place the chocolate-coated peaks back on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
