Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully blended and sticky.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the coconut mixture, rolling each portion into a ball with your hands. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
While the coconut balls are chilling, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the balls are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve the Coconut Mound Balls chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
