For a more intense chocolate flavor, why not try double-dipping the chocolate coconut balls? You can even experiment with different colors of chocolate to create an exciting outside pattern. Simply allow the first coat of chocolate to set around the coconut before dipping it into melted chocolate for a second coat.

Serving suggestions I'm really a big fan of coconut. A BIG fan! But until a year ago I didn't know that eating a coconut is actually really healthy for my body. To be perfectly honest, until a year ago I didn't know much about that tropical splendor. Coconutty and flavorful, these Healthy Coconut Bites will surely delight you. These little joys look beautiful on the Holiday table. They are completely guilt-free, loaded with HEALTHY stuff and made without refined sugar. Also, you will need a food processor with the extension for grinding or an ordinary coffee grinder.

Cover with chocolate Place them on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Chill them thoroughly in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix the condensed milk with the coconut flakes. I tend to use my hands to mix it directly, but you can use a spoon or a small cookie scoop. Then, form balls using about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture. You can make them as big or as small as you like. However, I recommend that they’re around 2-3 bites in size (about 1-inch balls). Condensed Milk: Canned sweetened condensed milk works perfectly. If you’re vegan or don’t want to use condensed milk, you can use a mix of almond milk and sugar, evaporated milk, coconut milk, or even coconut condensed milk to help bind the balls together. Place the balls on a lined baking sheet and then in the fridge to chill – I recommend between 15-30 minutes or longer. If you’re in a hurry, you can freeze them for 5-10 minutes.

You can either do this in the microwave in 20-30 second bursts until melted (stir in between so the chocolate doesn’t burn) or using a double boiler or the bain marie method.
