Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Crushed biscuits (e.g., digestive or graham crackers)
- 200 grams Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 120 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 150 grams Desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the crushed biscuits and desiccated coconut, setting aside 50 grams of coconut for rolling later.
Drain the canned pineapple thoroughly to remove most of the liquid, then add it to the bowl.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, add the vanilla extract, and sprinkle in a pinch of salt.
Mix the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until a sticky, moldable dough forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add additional crushed biscuits by the tablespoon until you reach the right consistency.
Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon) of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
Spread the reserved desiccated coconut on a plate and roll each ball in the coconut to coat evenly.
Place the finished pineapple balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy this sweet, tropical treat!
