INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 bottle (370 grams) Macapuno or coconut sport

  • ½ can (187 grams) Condensed milk

  • ½ teaspoon Salt

  • 1 cup Milk powder

Slurry:

  • ½ cup Cornstarch

  • 1 cup Water


DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:  Prepare Macapuno:

  • Place the macapuno or shredded young coconut in a food processor or blender and finely mince until it reaches a coarse texture. Set it aside.


Step 2: Create Cornstarch Slurry:

  • In a bowl, combine water and cornstarch to form a smooth slurry. Mix or whisk it thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps. Set the slurry aside.


Step 3: Initiate Creamy Base:

  • In a pan over low heat, combine condensed milk and salt. Allow it to gently simmer, then add the minced macapuno. Stir thoroughly to combine.


Step 4: Incorporate Cornstarch Slurry:

  • Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the pan, stirring continuously until the mixture achieves a thick, non-watery consistency. Feel free to add more condensed milk if preferred,  set it aside to cool.


Step 5: Shape and Coat 

  • Once the mixture has cooled, shape it into delectable balls according to your preferred size. Simultaneously, roll each bliss ball in milk powder until evenly coated

TIPS:

  • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a touch of vanilla extract to the cornstarch slurry.

  • Experiment with different coatings like desiccated coconut or crushed nuts for a unique twist.

  • Refrigerate the bliss balls for a refreshing, chilled treat during warm weather.


Serve & Enjoy! 💖
