Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cups Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for coating, optional)
- 0.5 cups Additional shredded coconut (for coating, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded coconut, condensed milk, crushed biscuits, cocoa powder (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up for easier handling.
Using clean hands, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Roll each ball in the remaining shredded coconut or powdered sugar to coat, if desired.
Place the balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the Yum Yum Balls for at least 30 minutes to fully set before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
