Ingredients

▢ 300 g finely shredded unsweetened coconut
▢ 397 g sweetened condensed milk 1 can

Instructions

Add 250 g finely shredded unsweetened coconut, and 397 g sweetened condensed milk to a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined and the coconut holds together when pressed.
Divide the mixture into 9 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Coat each ball evenly with the remaining 50 g finely shredded unsweetened coconut.
Arrange the 2-ingredient coconut balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Yield: This quantity makes 9 large coconut balls, so divide the mixture evenly before shaping.

Reserve the coating: Set aside 50 g desiccated coconut before mixing the base to ensure enough remains for coating.

Shape firmly: Compress each portion before rolling so the coconut and condensed milk hold together cleanly.

Allow the full chill: 30-60 minutes of refrigeration helps these large coconut balls firm throughout before serving.
