Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for balance)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until well mixed and sticky.
  2. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Flatten slightly into a round disc and place on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  3. Chill the coconut rounds in the refrigerator or freezer for 15–20 minutes until firm.
  4. While chilling, melt chocolate and butter (if using) in the microwave in 30-second bursts or over a double boiler until smooth. Stir in a pinch of salt if desired.
  5. Once the coconut pieces are chilled, spread or pipe a small amount of melted chocolate onto one round and sandwich with another. Repeat to form sandwiches.
  6. Chill again for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Add cocoa powder or instant coffee to the coconut mix for a mocha twist.
  • Use flavored chocolate (white, mint, or caramel) for a fun variation.
  • Dip sandwich edges in extra chocolate and roll in coconut for a fancier look.
  • Lightly oil or dampen hands when forming coconut balls to reduce stickiness.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
