Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened flake coconut (desiccated coconut) plus more for rolling
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
- whole almonds roasted and unsalted (optional)
- 8 ounces dark chocolate semisweet or bittersweet (optional)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside
- In a large bowl, add the 1 ½ cups coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir together until well combined
- Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out the coconut mixture and squeeze together in your hands, making sure the mixture forms a ball. Roll between your palms until smooth. Roll in extra coconut, if desired. Repeat with remaining mixture, placing the coconut balls on the prepared baking tray. Place in the fridge to chill 30-60 minutes
- Optional: In a small bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted and smooth
- Optional: Place a whole almond on top of each coconut ball, pressing gently into the top. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coconut balls until evenly coated, if desired. Sprinkle the tops with more coconut, if desired
- Place in the fridge or leave at room temperature about an hour or until the chocolate sets
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks
