Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams sweetened shredded coconut
- 150 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture holds together.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into small mounds, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 cm (1 inch) of space between each mound.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
While the coconut mounds cool, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
Once the coconut mounds are completely cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each mound using a spoon or piping bag. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.
Serve and enjoy your Coconut Bursts! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
