Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (300 ml or 14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Condensed Milk: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the pure vanilla extract to infuse the mixture with aromatic flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the shredded coconut and graham cracker crumbs to the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or until it is firm enough to handle comfortably for shaping.
- Form Balls: Once the mixture is chilled, roll it into 1-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to keep them from sticking.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate the formed balls for an additional 30 minutes to firm up further before serving.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For best texture, chill the mixture thoroughly before rolling to ensure it is firm enough.
- If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly grease them with butter to make rolling easier.
- You can freeze these treats for up to 2 months; thaw them before serving for best taste.
