Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 mL / 4 fl oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups (150 g / 5.3 oz) shredded sweetened coconut
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (175 g / 6.2 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mixing: Combine shredded coconut, graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly until the mixture becomes cohesive and slightly sticky.
- Shaping: Mold the mixture into uniform spherical treats using clean hands or a cookie scoop, creating bite-sized orbs approximately one inch in diameter. Arrange these delicacies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chilling: Refrigerate the shaped treats for at least 30 minutes to help them maintain their structural integrity and develop a firmer consistency.
- Finishing: Choose your preferred coating method – either delicately dip each chilled sphere into melted chocolate chips, ensuring smooth coverage by allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, or generously dust the orbs with powdered sugar for a classic, understated look.
- Setting: Place the coated treats on parchment paper, allowing the chocolate to solidify completely or the powdered sugar to adhere seamlessly. This process ensures a perfect, elegant finish.
- Storage: Transfer the completed confections to an airtight container and refrigerate. These delectable morsels will preserve their exceptional flavor and texture for up to one week. For optimal enjoyment, serve slightly chilled or allow to rest at room temperature for a softer, more luxurious experience.
Notes
- Maintain Precise Mixture Consistency: Blend ingredients thoroughly until the mixture becomes slightly tacky but not too wet, ensuring the spheres hold together perfectly without crumbling.
- Control Portion Size: Use a cookie scoop or consistent hand-rolling technique to create uniform one-inch spheres for even texture and professional presentation.
- Master Chocolate Coating Technique: Melt chocolate gradually using short microwave intervals, stirring consistently to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, glossy finish for elegant dipping.
- Optimize Storage and Serving: Refrigerate treats in an airtight container for maximum freshness, allowing them to chill for best texture or letting them sit briefly at room temperature for a softer, more decadent bite.
