In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 150 grams of coconut, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to handle.
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.
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.
Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth.
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.
Immediately sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut over the chocolate-coated candies before the chocolate sets.
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened and the candies are set.
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
