Make these simple, creamy coconut balls without baking. They use few ingredients and are perfect for quick holiday treats or party snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is evenly moistened.
  2. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Chill the coconut balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up. This step is important before dipping.
  4. While the balls chill, prepare the chocolate coating. Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  5. Remove the chilled coconut balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, or roll them to coat completely.
  6. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
  7. Refrigerate the chocolate coconut balls for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, you can substitute almond flour for half of the shredded coconut and use dark chocolate for dipping.
  • These treats are great for meal planning; they store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to making treats from scratch, consider looking into best meal delivery services for quick dinner solutions.
