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.
