Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a sticky, cohesive mixture forms.
- Shape into small balls or rectangular bars and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate or freeze for 30–60 minutes until firm.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each coconut bite into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Place back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Chill again until chocolate is set, about 15–30 minutes.
Notes
- For a sweeter version, use milk or white chocolate instead of dark.
- Add chopped nuts to the coconut mixture for texture and flavor.
- Toasted coconut can enhance the depth of flavor.
- Use a fork to help dip the bites cleanly in chocolate.
