Irresistible chocolate-coated coconut balls with a moist and sweet interior, perfect for a quick dessert or sweet snack. 🍫🥥

1. Mix Ingredients:

In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Fold in optional add-ins if desired.

2. Form Balls:

Scoop out small portions and roll them into 1-inch diameter balls. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Refrigerate coconut balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.

Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coating. Use a fork to lift the ball, letting excess chocolate drip off.

Place chocolate-coated balls back on parchment paper. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 15–20 minutes.

Once set, the chocolate coconut balls are ready to be served. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy these delightful chocolate coconut balls – a perfect treat for any occasion! 🎉

Ensure the shredded coconut is unsweetened to control the sweetness of the recipe.
Use a fork to easily coat the coconut balls in chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off.
Experiment with different add-ins like chopped almonds or dried cranberries for unique variations.
