Description

No-Bake Coconut Cream Balls are creamy, chewy coconut bites dipped in chocolate for a sweet, indulgent treat. Quick to make with just a few ingredients, these bite-sized desserts are perfect for holidays, parties, gifting, or anytime you want a no-bake delight!


Ingredients

  • Shredded sweetened coconut
  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar
  • Chopped nuts (optional)
  • White or semi-sweet chocolate, melted (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, powdered sugar, and optional nuts. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  2. Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt chocolate. Dip each ball into chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Let excess drip off and place back on the tray.
  5. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets. Serve chilled or at room temp.

Notes

  • Use almond or coconut extract for a flavor twist.
  • Decorate with extra coconut or chopped nuts before chocolate sets.
  • Can be made dairy-free with condensed coconut milk and dairy-free chocolate.
  • If mixture is sticky, chill before rolling or lightly grease hands.
  • Store in fridge or freezer—no reheating required.
