Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoons Coconut oil (or butter)
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture comes together and is evenly combined.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the coconut balls for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the coconut balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Remove the chilled coconut balls from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpicks, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the covered ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each coated ball, if desired.
Refrigerate the chocolate-coated balls for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
