Description
A delightful no-bake treat that captures the warmth of family gatherings with sweetened coconut goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups unsweetened coconut (medium shred)
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut (fine shred)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted & cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar
- Liquid food coloring (for pastel magic!)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Stir in the medium-shred coconut and confectioner’s sugar until fully combined. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, color the fine-shred coconut: in a separate bowl, mix ½ cup of coconut with 3-4 drops of food coloring and blend until it’s evenly colored.
- After 15 minutes, scoop chilled mixture into 1½ teaspoon portions and roll them into small balls. Coat each ball in the colored coconut.
- Place the colored coconut-coated balls on a baking sheet and chill them for an hour to set.
- Keep refrigerated until serving. Enjoy!
Notes
