Ingredients
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 250 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 50 grams Blanched almonds
- 200 grams White chocolate
- 20 grams Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 150 grams of coconut, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to handle.
Step 3
Meanwhile, lightly toast the blanched almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
Step 4
Once the coconut mixture is firm, scoop out small portions (about a tablespoon each) and flatten them slightly in your hand. Place an almond in the center and roll the mixture around it to form a ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Step 5
Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth.
Step 6
Using a fork, dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the candy on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 7
Immediately sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut over the chocolate-coated candies before the chocolate sets.
Step 8
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened and the candies are set.
Step 9
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
