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

Notes

Storing tips: You can keep these coconut chocolate balls on an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
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.
