Ingredients
Scale
Coconut Filling:
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Optional Garnish:
- toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Filling: In a bowl, mix shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the Coconut Centers: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls or shape into small rectangles. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the Coconut Centers: Dip each coconut center into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place back on the parchment sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 20 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with toasted coconut flakes if desired.
Notes
- For a darker flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet.
- These chocolates can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Freeze for longer storage.
