Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 ½ cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional for coating: extra shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or melted chocolate

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. Stir in shredded coconut until fully combined and the mixture holds its shape.
  3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30–45 minutes until firm.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into small balls.
  5. Coat each ball in your choice of shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or drizzle with melted chocolate.
  6. Place finished balls on a parchment-lined tray and chill until fully set.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Add a whole almond, hazelnut, or dried cherry inside for a fun surprise center.
  • Toasting some of the coconut can add extra flavor and texture.
  • Dip in melted chocolate to make coconut cream truffles.
  • Substitute vegan condensed milk and butter for a dairy-free version.
  • Grease hands or dust with powdered sugar to make rolling easier.
