Ingredients

  • 200 g desiccated coconut
  • 200 g condensed milk
  • 50 g soften butter
  • 180 g dark chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the desiccated coconut, soften butter and condensed milk.
  • Use a spatula to mix everything together into a sticky mixture.
  • Shape balls out of the mixture, I got 16, but you can get more or less depending on how big the balls are.
  • If you decorate them with desiccated coconut only, coat each ball into coconut, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • If you wish to coat them in chocolate, break the chocolate into pieces, and add them to a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
  • When the chocolate is melted and smooth, add a ball at a time, and coat well, then use a fork to remove it from the chocolate, and transfer it to a tray lined with non-stick paper.
  • If you want to add more coconut to them, sprinkle some before the chocolate sets.
  • Refrigerate, then enjoy!
