No-Bake Coconut Cream Balls
Servings: 20-25 coconut balls

2 cups shredded sweetened coconut, plus extra for coating
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup melted white chocolate (optional, for dipping)

Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the ingredients are well-combined and form a sticky mixture. The coconut should be fully coated in the condensed milk and sugar, making it easy to form into balls.

Shape the Balls:
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used. You should end up with around 20-25 coconut cream balls, depending on the size.

Coat the Balls:
Roll each coconut ball in extra shredded coconut to coat it. This gives the balls a nice texture and helps to firm them up as they chill. If desired, you can dip each ball halfway into melted white chocolate for an extra indulgent treat. To melt the chocolate, simply microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Chill:
Place the coated coconut balls in the refrigerator and let them chill for 1-2 hours until firm and set. The chilling process helps the coconut balls hold their shape and makes them more enjoyable to eat.

Serve and Enjoy:
Once chilled, your No-Bake Coconut Cream Balls are ready to serve! They are perfect for snacking, sharing at parties, or enjoying as a dessert with a cup of coffee or tea.
