Description
Dark Chocolate Coconut Balls without condensed milk are a simple, no-bake dessert made with just four ingredients. These bite-sized treats combine the richness of dark chocolate with the nutty sweetness of coconut, creating a deliciously indulgent yet light treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (save some for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons melted salted butter (adjust as needed)
- 4 oz melting dark chocolate wafers or dark chocolate baking bar
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix shredded coconut with coconut milk and melted butter. The mixture should form a consistency that holds its shape when rolled into a ball.
- Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Melt the dark chocolate using a microwave (in 30-second increments) or stovetop, and allow it to cool slightly.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated ball back on the baking sheet.
- Freeze the chocolate-coated balls for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Garnish with reserved shredded coconut and serve.
Notes
- For added sweetness, mix in honey or maple syrup when preparing the coconut mixture.
- Coconut oil can be used instead of coconut milk for a firmer texture.
- Decorate with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or a drizzle of white chocolate for variety.
