• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Make the coconut filling: In a bowl, mix shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt until well combined.

4. Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
5. Coat: Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s completely covered. Place back on the parchment.
6. Decorate: Sprinkle with shredded coconut while the chocolate is still wet.
7. Set: Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
8. Serve: Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 🥥✨
