Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (or coconut condensed milk for a vegan option)
• 3.5 oz dark chocolate (or chocolate chips, 65–80% cocoa)

Instructions

1. Mix Coconut and Condensed Milk
   In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut and condensed milk. Mix thoroughly until it forms a thick, sticky mixture. You can use your hands, a spoon, or a fork.
2. Form Balls
   Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Aim for 1–2-inch bites for easy snacking. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
3. Chill the Coconut Balls
   Refrigerate the balls for 15–30 minutes to firm up. For a quicker option, freeze for 5–10 minutes.
4. Melt the Chocolate
   Melt the chocolate using a microwave (in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth.
5. Dip in Chocolate
   Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork, skewer, or spoon to transfer the balls onto a wire rack lined with parchment paper.
6. Set the Chocolate
   Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, then transfer the balls to the fridge to cool completely. Optional: sprinkle with sea salt or drizzle additional chocolate for a decorative touch.
