    How to make this recipe

    Mix the shredded coconut and condensed coconut milk into a large bowl.

    Line a plate with parchment paper, roll the coconut mixture into balls, and place them on the plate.

    Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls.

    Then, remove your coconut balls from the fridge. Melt the chocolate, dip the coconut balls in chocolate and place them on a cooling rack. Sprinkle more shredded coconut on top before they harden.

    Put the tray into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to harden the chocolate.

    Tips for making this recipe 

    Roll into balls tip: Melt a little bit of coconut oil to rub in your hands before rolling the coconut mixture into balls to help avoid sticking.

    Use coconut condensed milk at room temperature: Ensure your condensed coconut milk is at room temperature to facilitate mixing.

    Use a baking rack: Using a baking rack will help the chocolate evenly spread around the coconut ball.
