No-Bake Coconut Cream Balls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (for coating)
- Additional shredded coconut for rolling
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Freeze the coconut balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
5. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each coconut ball into the melted white chocolate, then roll it in additional shredded coconut.
6. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
