- 85 grams (1 cup) desiccated coconut
- 25 grams (¼ cup) cocoa powder
Coating Ingredient:
- 130 grams (1 ½ cups) extra desiccated coconut (for rolling)
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers into delicate, uniform crumbs using a food processor or manual crushing technique, ensuring a consistent texture without large fragments.
- Create a rich mixture by incorporating cocoa powder, shredded coconut, and sweetened condensed milk, stirring thoroughly until ingredients form a cohesive, moldable consistency.
- Gently shape the mixture into compact, bite-sized spheres using light pressure, maintaining uniform size for consistent presentation.
- Generously roll each ball in additional coconut, ensuring complete and even coverage for a delightful textural exterior.
- Transfer the coconut-coated treats to a sealed container, refrigerating for one hour to enhance firmness and allow flavors to meld.
- For extended enjoyment, store in the refrigerator up to two weeks or freeze for up to two months, preserving their delectable quality and texture.
Notes
- Swap regular biscuits with gluten-free alternatives for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals, ensuring everyone can enjoy these delightful treats.
- Reduce condensed milk by 1-2 tablespoons for a less sweet version, perfect for those watching sugar intake.
- Use dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor and potential antioxidant boost, making these balls slightly more nutritious.
