Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate pieces or chocolate chips (for the center)

Instructions

  1. Mix the base: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and well blended.
  2. Form the balls: Take a small portion of the mixture and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a piece of chocolate in the center, then carefully mold the coconut mixture around it, rolling it into a smooth ball shape.
  3. Chill the cookie balls: Place the formed cookie balls onto a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and the chocolate center to set.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, serve the coconut cookie balls as a quick sweet snack or dessert. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Use sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut based on your taste preference; adjust the amount of condensed milk slightly if the mixture is too dry or wet.
  • For a richer chocolate surprise, use dark chocolate pieces or your favorite chocolate chips.
  • These cookie balls should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 5 days for best freshness.
  • Optional: Roll the finished balls in additional shredded coconut for added texture and appearance.
