Coconut Chocolate Balls Recipe
Ingredients (makes ~20 balls)
- 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups dark or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter
Instructions
1. Make the coconut filling
- In a bowl, mix shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla until sticky and well combined.
- Chill mixture 15–20 minutes for easier rolling.
2. Shape
- Roll mixture into bite-sized balls.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Freeze 10–15 minutes until firm.
3. Melt chocolate
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together using a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second bursts, stirring between).
4. Coat
- Dip each coconut ball into melted chocolate.
- Return to parchment paper.
5. Set
- Refrigerate 20–30 minutes until chocolate hardens.
Optional Variations
- Roll balls in cocoa powder or crushed nuts
- Add an almond in the center (like a Bounty-style treat)
- Use white chocolate for coating
- Sprinkle with toasted coconut on top
Tips
- If mixture feels too wet, add a little more coconut.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- These freeze beautifully!
If you want, I can also give you a 3-ingredient version, a healthy no-sugar option, or a rum-flavored coconut chocolate ball for grown-ups 😉
