Coconut Cream Balls

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. If desired, add a small amount of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Mix the ingredients until a thick and sticky mixture forms.
2. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This will make it easier to handle and shape into balls.
3. Once the mixture has chilled, take small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. You can adjust the size according to your preference.
4. Roll each coconut ball in powdered sugar to coat them evenly. This not only adds a touch of sweetness but also gives the balls a nice texture.
5. Place the sugar-coated coconut cream balls on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
6. Refrigerate the coconut cream balls for at least an hour to let them firm up.
7. Once they’ve set, your coconut cream balls are ready to be served. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.

Feel free to get creative with this recipe. You can add other ingredients like nuts, chocolate chips, or cocoa powder for extra flavor and texture. The beauty of coconut cream balls is their simplicity and versatility. Enjoy these sweet, coconutty treats as a dessert or snack.
