Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for coating)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling, optional)
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (for rolling, optional)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional for extra texture)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut. Stir to distribute evenly.
- Add sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the dough is thick and sticky.
Step 2: Shape the Balls
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough into equal-sized pieces.
- Roll each portion between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
- If the dough feels too sticky, lightly grease your hands with butter or chill the mixture for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Coat for Extra Flavor
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut for a flavorful coating.
- For extra crunch, roll in finely chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Arrange the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to firm up.
- Once chilled, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut milk-based condensed milk and vegan butter.
- Less Sweet Variation: Reduce the condensed milk slightly or skip the powdered sugar coating.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
