Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under running water and remove the stems. Pat them dry completely using paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky but moldable dough.
Using your hands, take one fresh strawberry and cover it completely with the prepared dough by flattening small pieces of dough and pressing it around the strawberry.
Roll the covered strawberry gently in your palms to form a smooth ball.
Place the shredded coconut in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll each strawberry ball in the shredded coconut until it is evenly coated on all sides.
Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries and dough.
Transfer the finished strawberry balls to a plate or tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
