Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs plus extra for rolling
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together ½ cup softened butter, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup mini chocolate chips until all are evenly combined.
- Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This chilling firms up the mixture, making it easier to shape.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch diameter balls.
- Coat Balls: Roll each formed ball thoroughly in extra graham cracker crumbs to evenly coat the outside.
- Final Chill: Place the coated balls back into the refrigerator and chill for another 30 minutes to set the shape and texture before serving.
Notes
- Use softened butter to ensure a smooth, creamy mixture without lumps.
- Sweetened shredded coconut is essential for moisture and sweetness; avoid unsweetened as it can dry out the texture.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll, incorporate an additional tablespoon or two of graham cracker crumbs until it holds together well.
- Chill the mixture twice—once before shaping and once after rolling—to achieve the perfect firmness.
- Mini chocolate chips are preferred as they distribute evenly and provide small chocolate bursts.
- These treats can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months, making them great for advance preparation.
- Feel free to customize by swapping graham cracker crumbs for Biscoff cookies, adding chopped nuts, or rolling the balls in shredded coconut for a different finish.
