Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and the mixture holds together when pressed.
-
Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, making approximately 10-12 coconut balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the coconut balls to firm up.
-
In the meantime, melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
-
Remove the coconut balls from the freezer. One by one, drop each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Use a fork to lift the coated ball out of the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
-
Place the chocolate-coated coconut ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle the tops with chopped nuts while the chocolate is still wet.
-
Once all the coconut balls are coated and topped with nuts, return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
-
Once the chocolate has hardened, the Easy Coconut Snowballs are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a decorative platter for a stunning presentation, and watch as they quickly disappear.
