Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) coconut powder
- 200 milliliters (6.76 fluid ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) melted chocolate (milk or dark, as preferred)
Instructions
- Create a smooth, uniform mixture by thoroughly blending shredded coconut with sweetened condensed milk until the texture becomes dense and cohesive.
- Carefully craft compact spheres or cylindrical shapes using the coconut mixture, ensuring consistent sizing for even coating and appearance.
- Transfer the formed coconut morsels onto a parchment-lined tray, then refrigerate for approximately half an hour to solidify their structure and enhance handling.
- Gently melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring periodically to achieve a silky, uniform consistency without scorching.
- Immerse each chilled coconut morsel completely in the molten chocolate, using a specialized dipping fork to allow excess chocolate to cascade back into the bowl.
- Delicately position the chocolate-enrobed coconut treats onto the prepared tray, maintaining spacing to prevent them from touching.
- Return the chocolate-covered delicacies to the refrigerator, allowing them to set and develop a glossy, crisp chocolate shell for approximately 20-25 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has completely solidified, retrieve the bounty balls and serve at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Adjust coconut powder quantity to control sweetness and texture, ensuring the mixture holds together without being too dry or wet.
- Use room temperature condensed milk for smoother mixing and easier ball formation.
- Dampen hands slightly when shaping balls to prevent sticky mixture from clinging to fingers.
- Choose high-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for richer flavor and smoother coating.
- Experiment with dark, milk, or white chocolate for different taste variations.
- Add a pinch of vanilla extract or almond essence to enhance the coconut flavor.
- Create gluten-free version by using certified gluten-free coconut powder.
- Make vegan alternative by substituting condensed milk with coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Freeze for longer storage, allowing them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
