Description
Twenty small chilled no-bake coconut candies with a shredded-coconut coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Finely shredded unsweetened coconut, for centers
- 3/4 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Fine salt
- 1/2 cup Finely shredded unsweetened coconut, for coating
Instructions
- Stir 3 cups finely shredded unsweetened coconut, 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/8 tsp fine salt until evenly moistened. If the mixture is very loose with the selected coconut, refrigerate briefly before shaping and record the change for the kitchen trial.
- Scoop approximately 20 small even portions onto a parchment-lined tray. Press and roll with clean cool hands into compact balls. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut into a shallow dish; coat each ball lightly.
- Refrigerate in a covered container at least 60 minutes until the snowballs hold their shape. Keep cold until serving; do not claim these dairy-based candies are shelf-stable at room temperature.
- Count and weigh the trial batch, assess sweetness and texture and revise if the chosen coconut absorbs a different amount of milk. The measured card contains no almond centers, powdered milk or chocolate.
