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.” What’s better to add to a coconut lovers confection than chocolate?!

And these cookies are oh so easy to make. Just use 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.

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.

Ingredients

For the coconut filling

• 2 cups icing sugar, powdered sugar
• 1 300 ml can sweetened condensed milk, This is the 14oz size in the US.
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups fine unsweetened dried coconut

For the chocolate coating

• 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

To make the coconut filling

1. Mix together the icing sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract ans dried coconut.
2. Chill and roll into one inch balls.
3. Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze completely.

To make the chocolate coating

1. In a double boiler, melt together the chocolate chips and butter.
2. 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.
3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
4. These freeze well too.

Notes

Tip: I keep the melted chocolate in the double boiler or in a bowl sitting in boiling water. This helps keep the chocolate from setting during the dipping time and makes the dipping easier.
