Easy Chocolate Coconut Balls. A no-bake cookie treat that’s like a coconut candy bar. A popular Holiday treat too!
Chocolate Coconut Balls
These easy chocolate coconut balls are a coconut and chocolate lovers dream. Sweetened condensed milk makes for a moist coconut centre you’ll love.
Here’s one for Nancy, my friend who by her own confession needs, “a coconut intervention” and what’s better to add to a coconut lovers confection than chocolate?!
These are oh so easy to make and use just a few simple ingredients to make these wonderfully soft centred coconut wonders. Freezing the soft coconut centres makes it super easy to dip them in the chocolate too.
Chocolate Coconut Balls
The only problem after that is waiting the hour or so for the centre to that and the chocolate to set! These are always on my Holiday treat list particularly because they freeze so well.

- 2 cups icing sugar powdered sugar
- 1 ten ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups fine unsweetened dried coconut
- 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butter
-
Mix together the icing sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract ans dried coconut.
-
Chill and roll into one inch balls.
-
Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze completely.
-
In a double boiler, melt together the chocolate chips and butter.
-
I use two forks to dip the coconut balls, one at a time. After rolling in the chocolate, I lift the dipped chocolate ball and let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the sheet to let the chocolate set.
-
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
-
These freeze well too.

I think I will be trying these ones tonight.
Thank you!
Hey! I love coconut and I’m making these for christmas. I just wanted to know how many coconut balls does this recipe make?
About 2 dozen, Gabrielle.
I made these over the holidays. Rather than rolling them into balls, I pressed them into a parchment lined pan and then cut them into fingers for dipping. They sure are yummy!
What is icing sugar?????
Powdered sugar (confectioners sugar)
I use tooth picks to dip them it’s a lot easier.
Beautiful recipes
Thanks very much.
Making these right now. Easy and delicious!!
One of my son’s favs too!
Great easy to make sending them in x mad tons to family members out of state they will love them thanks so much happy holidays to all
Glad you liked them…so easy and uncomplicated. I love them too.
Making them right now…trying with white chocolate, instead of the milk chocolate. ..so yummy!
I make these and I add a cherry in the centre of the coconut ball and then add my chocolate to them sooo good . They freeze well also
Sounds delicious.
I did this only wish I had used a smaller pot so the chocolate mixture would have been deeper
I made these exactly as written and they were so good that I made a second batch. This time I replaced the vanilla with mint flavouring and they were also fantastic. These will assume a prominent place in my Christmas baking from now on. Thanks Barry.
That sounds good!
Just made these. Were fantastic. Family loved them. So easy to make. .
Hi, i juz wanna ask dat..can we use coco powder for the dip instead of chocolate chips???? n foil paper instead of parchment lined paper?????
The foil is probably fine but the centres hare too soft to just roll in cocoa.
Wow! I made these (it’s Easter) because I had some extra melted chocolate I needed to use up. “Easy” was key in my decision to make these, plus coconut and chocolate are fantastic together. These were so very easy to make. I just sampled them and they are so good they will be making my must make list from now on. I even made some shaped like little eggs!
