Ingredients
Scale
For the Coconut Balls:
- 2 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions
- Mix the Coconut Balls: In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, coconut extract (if using), and salt. Form a sticky dough.

- Set and Serve: Place the coated balls back on the parchment and refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a decorative touch, drizzle extra melted chocolate or sprinkle shredded coconut on top before the coating sets.
