Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded coconut, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture is thick, sticky, and evenly combined.
- Form the Balls: Using clean hands, take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball approximately 1 inch in diameter. Continue rolling balls until all of the mixture is used.
- Coat the Balls: Roll each formed coconut ball in extra shredded coconut to coat the outside, adding extra texture and a pleasing coconut flavor.
- Chill: Place the coated coconut balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up properly.
- Serve: Once chilled and firm, the coconut condensed milk balls are ready to enjoy. Serve immediately or package them as delightful gifts for friends and family.
Notes
- You can substitute sweetened condensed milk with a vegan condensed milk alternative to make it vegan.
- Store the coconut balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a variation, add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the mixture before forming the balls.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it for 10 minutes before rolling.
