# Ingredients:
→ Coconut Mix Base
01 -
1 cup condensed milk (sweetened)
02 -
3 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened)
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
04 -
A small pinch of salt (about ¼ teaspoon)
→ Chocolate Center
05 -
2 tablespoons cream (heavy)
06 -
1 cup chocolate chips (dark variety)
→ Topping Chocolate Drizzle
07 -
1 tablespoon coconut-based oil
08 -
½ cup chocolate chips (dark)
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big mixing bowl and toss in the coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Stir well until everything feels sticky and holds together.
02 -
Scoop a tablespoon of the coconut mixture, flatten it, and place a chocolate truffle in the middle. Gently fold the sides up to cover the chocolate and roll into a ball. Keep going until all the mix is used.
03 -
Put the coconut balls on a sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the fridge for 20-30 minutes so they can firm up nicely.
04 -
After chilling, melt dark chocolate in a microwave or on the stove using a double boiler. Drizzle the gooey chocolate over the top of the balls with a spoon or small piping tool.
05 -
Refrigerate the drizzled balls for another 10-15 minutes. This helps the chocolate harden up.
06 -
When the chocolate topping is set, they’re good to enjoy! Store them in a sealed container in the fridge—they last for about a week.
