Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Dulce de leche
- 250 grams Plain digestive biscuits
- 100 grams Shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
Place the plain digestive biscuits in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until they resemble coarse crumbs.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and dulce de leche. Stir together until fully incorporated and the mixture is sticky and holds its shape when pressed.
If you're using cocoa powder, sift it into the mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
Place the shredded coconut on a large plate or shallow bowl.
Take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form smooth, bite-sized balls.
Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
Once all the balls are made, transfer them to a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Serve the dulce de leche balls chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
