Ingredients:
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut, plus extra for rolling
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup melted chocolate (optional, for dipping)
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
Form the Balls: Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Optional Chocolate Dip: If desired, dip each ball halfway into the melted chocolate and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Coat with Coconut: Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to coat the surface completely.
Chill: Place the coconut balls in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until firm.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the coconut cream balls to a serving plate and enjoy this sweet, tropical treat!
