Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 200 grams Powdered milk
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 pieces Blanched hazelnuts
- 50 grams Additional shredded coconut (for rolling)
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and milk over low heat. Stir gently until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, powdered milk, and shredded coconut. Mix well.
3. Gradually pour the milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and stir until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, you can add a small splash of milk (1-2 tablespoons) to adjust the consistency.
4. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 20-30 minutes. This will make it easier to shape the balls.
5. While the mixture chills, prepare the hazelnuts by ensuring they are blanched and skinned. Set aside.
6. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Scoop a heaping teaspoon of the coconut mixture and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand.
7. Place one hazelnut in the center and wrap the coconut mixture around it to form a smooth ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
8. Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut to fully coat the surface for a prettier finish.
9. Arrange the completed hazelnut coconut balls on a serving platter or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
10. Serve chilled and enjoy these delightful, creamy treats!
