Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 14 ounces (397 grams) unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 can (14 ounces/397 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
Coating:
- 1/2 cup (40 grams) unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Gently separate and set aside a portion of coconut flakes for the exterior coating, ensuring a pristine surface for rolling.
- Combine the remaining coconut flakes with sweetened condensed milk in a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blending until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Using a spoon or small scoop, gather compact portions of the mixture and delicately shape into round spheres with smooth, consistent surfaces.
- Transfer each crafted sphere into the reserved coconut flakes, gently rotating to ensure complete and even exterior coverage.
- Arrange the coconut-encrusted spheres on a flat tray, maintaining sufficient spacing between each ball to prevent sticking.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator, allowing the coconut balls to firm and chill for approximately 60-90 minutes, which enhances their structural integrity and flavor profile.
- Once adequately cooled and solidified, remove from refrigeration and serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Toasting coconut flakes before mixing can enhance the nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch to the balls.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free and avoid cross-contamination during preparation.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to introduce a subtle, sophisticated flavor profile to the sweet treat.
- Experiment with rolling the balls in different coatings like crushed nuts, cocoa powder, or melted chocolate for variety and visual appeal.
