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

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut. Stir to distribute evenly.
  2. Add sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the dough is thick and sticky.

Step 2: Shape the Balls

  1. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough into equal-sized pieces.
  2. Roll each portion between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
  3. 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

  1. Roll each ball in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut for a flavorful coating.
  2. For extra crunch, roll in finely chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Arrange the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to firm up.
  3. 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.
