Description
These coconut balls are soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet with a rich coconut flavor. Made with just four ingredients, they’re a no-bake treat that comes together quickly and always impresses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.
- Gradually add the desiccated coconut, stirring until everything is well mixed and forms a soft dough.
- Line a tray or plate with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.

- Optionally, roll them in more coconut or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
Notes
- Use gloves or lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking while rolling.
- For extra flavor, toast some of the coconut before mixing in.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
