No Bake Coconut Cream Balls

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or almond bark (for coating)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
  • Extra shredded coconut for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the coconut mixture:
    In a bowl, mix shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
  2. Shape into balls:
    Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Chill:
    Refrigerate the balls for about 30–45 minutes until firm.
  4. Prepare the coating:
    Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
  5. Dip and coat:
    Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper.
  6. Optional garnish:
    Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top while the coating is still wet.
  7. Set and serve:
    Refrigerate again for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
