– **Deliciously Creamy**: The combination of coconut and sweetened condensed milk creates a creamy texture that’s absolutely irresistible. Plus, they are coated in shredded coconut for an added crunch.
### Ingredients:
– 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened)
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
– 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup additional shredded coconut (for rolling)
– 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
### Instructions:
1. **Mix the Base Ingredients**:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded coconut, powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend everything together until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky, but still pliable.
2. **Shape the Balls**:
Once the mixture is ready, take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using your hands. Make sure to roll them firmly, but gently, so that they hold together. This step should yield about 18-20 coconut cream balls, depending on the size you make them.
3. **Coat with Shredded Coconut**:
After forming the balls, pour the remaining shredded coconut (1/2 cup) into a shallow dish. Roll each coconut ball in the shredded coconut until it’s fully coated. This adds texture and enhances the coconut flavor, making the balls even more irresistible!
4. **Chill to Set**:
Place the coconut cream balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. The chilling process helps them hold their shape and makes them even more enjoyable to eat.
5. **Optional White Chocolate Drizzle**:
If you want to add a little extra sweetness and visual appeal, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled coconut balls using a spoon or a fork for a decorative touch.
6. **Serve and Enjoy**:
Once the coconut cream balls are chilled and the white chocolate (if used) has set, your sweet treats are ready to be served! These can be enjoyed right away, or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
