INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup Desiccated coconut

  • ½ can (185g) Condensed milk

For Coating:

  • ¼ cup Desiccated coconut


DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Mixing the Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and condensed milk thoroughly until well incorporated.

  • Ensure the mixture is not watery, add desiccated coconut if necessary.


Step 2: Shaping the Balls

  • Get a small amount of mixture, about a tablespoon or so, and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball.


Step 3: Coating with Coconut

  • Roll the formed ball in desiccated coconut until it is completely coated.


Step 4: Repeating the Process

  • Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.


Step 5: Refrigeration

  • Place the coated coconut balls in an airtight container and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling helps the balls firm up and hold their shape, ensuring a perfect texture with each bite.


TIPS:

  • Experiment with different flavors of condensed milk for a unique twist. Consider using chocolate, strawberry, or ube flavored condensed milk to add variety to your coconut balls.

  • For a more festive presentation, after coating the coconut balls with desiccated coconut, you can further enhance them by rolling them in colored sugar, sprinkles, or even dipping them in chocolate ganache.

  • Store the coconut balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.

  • Serve these delightful treats on special occasions or package them nicely as homemade gifts for friends and family. They're sure to be appreciated!


Serve & Enjoy! 💖
