Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
For Coating
- Extra graham cracker crumbs for rolling
Instructions
- Prepare the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ½ cup softened unsalted butter, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended, ensuring a creamy base.
- Mix in dry ingredients: Add 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup chocolate chips into the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Chill the mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up, making it easier to shape the treats.
- Form balls: Remove the mixture from the fridge and shape into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands.
- Coat in graham cracker crumbs: Roll each ball in the extra graham cracker crumbs until fully coated, providing a nice outer texture and preventing sticking.
- Final chilling: Refrigerate the coated balls for another 30 minutes to set completely before serving.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, chill the mixture longer before shaping.
- Use sweetened condensed milk for sweetness; for a less sweet version, try evaporated milk with added sweetener.
- Substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits if preferred.
- Store the coconut balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- To make them vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and use a sweetened condensed coconut milk alternative.
