📝 Instructions

8 steps
1

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.

2

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.

3

If you're using cocoa powder, sift it into the mixture and mix until evenly distributed.

4

Place the shredded coconut on a large plate or shallow bowl.

5

Take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form smooth, bite-sized balls.

6

Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated.

7

Once all the balls are made, transfer them to a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

8

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.
