How to Make Dark Chocolate Coconut Balls Without Condensed Milk

1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
   In a bowl, mix shredded coconut with coconut milk and melted butter. The mixture should not be too runny but should come together easily to form a ball. Set aside some shredded coconut for garnish.
2. Shape and Chill:
   Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
   While the balls are chilling, melt your dark chocolate wafers or baking bar. Use a microwave in 30-second increments or a stovetop for the perfect consistency. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
4. Coat the Balls:
   Using a fork, dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and place the coated ball back on the baking sheet.
5. Set and Garnish:
   Freeze the chocolate-coated balls for another 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved shredded coconut for a decorative touch.

Serve these luscious treats at room temperature or straight from the fridge.

Tips for the Best Coconut Balls

• Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter treat, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the coconut mixture.

• Garnish Ideas: Swap shredded coconut for crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles for a festive look.

Storing Your Coconut Balls

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
• Freezer: Keep them in the freezer for up to a month for longer storage. Simply thaw for a few minutes before enjoying.
