Ingredients

2 ½ cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on preference)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup chopped nuts (optional: almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
Extra shredded coconut (for rolling, optional)
Melted chocolate (optional, for dipping)

Instructions / Method

Prepare the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well coated.
Add Sweetness & Texture:
Sift in the powdered sugar and stir until the mixture thickens into a sticky dough-like consistency. If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Shape the Balls:
With clean, slightly damp hands, scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Coating Options:
- Roll the balls in extra shredded coconut for a snowy, festive look.
- Dip them in melted chocolate for a richer candy experience.
- Or do both for an indulgent twist!
Chill to Set:
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

History

Coconut has been a cherished ingredient in desserts across many cultures — from tropical islands to festive European treats. Coconut balls themselves trace back to variations in Indian sweets like laddu and Caribbean coconut drops. In the Western world, condensed milk became widely used in the 19th century, making recipes like these popular for home cooks because of their simplicity and long shelf life. Today, No Bake Coconut Cream Balls are enjoyed worldwide, bridging traditions of candy-making with modern no-bake convenience.

Formation (Texture & Flavor)

Outer Layer: Soft, snowy, and slightly chewy from the coconut.
Inside: Creamy sweetness balanced by the condensed milk and powdered sugar.

This balance of texture and flavor makes them addictive little bites you’ll want to keep making again and again.
