Ingredients:
- 2 cups desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
Directions:
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Begin by finely chopping the fresh strawberries until you have 1 cup of fruit.
- Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- Add 2 cups of desiccated coconut to the bowl with the strawberries.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of condensed milk.
- Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the Balls:
- Take a small amount of the strawberry-coconut mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball.
- The size of each ball is up to you, but a good guideline is about an inch in diameter.
- Coat the Balls:
- Roll each ball in the extra desiccated coconut until fully coated.
- This not only adds an extra layer of flavor but also makes them less sticky to handle.
- Chill and Serve:
- Place the strawberry coconut balls on a plate or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and develop flavors.
- Serve chilled as a sweet treat or dessert.
Tips:
- For a vegan version, use coconut condensed milk.
- If the mixture is too wet, add more desiccated coconut until you reach the desired consistency.
- These are perfect for gifting or as a colorful addition to any dessert table.
