Ingredients:
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup grated coconut, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of the grated coconut, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the Rolls: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the remaining 1/2 cup of grated coconut to coat.
- Cook the Rolls: Place the coconut-coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving dish. Serve warm or cold, as desired.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk instead of sweetened condensed milk.
- To add a touch of color, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the dough.
- For a more festive look, you can decorate the rolls with sprinkles or chocolate chips.
