- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, mix shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
- Scoop and roll into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place on a lined tray.
- Freeze the balls for 15–20 minutes to help them hold shape.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.
- Place coated balls back on the tray and let excess chocolate drip off.
- Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
- Optionally, sprinkle extra coconut or toppings before the chocolate fully sets.
Notes
Chill the mixture well before shaping to avoid sticky handling. Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother coating and better flavor. Keep the balls cold while dipping to maintain their shape and texture.
