Ingredients
- 200 g white chocolate
- 100 g butter
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups coconut shreds
- 25 Roasted almonds whole
- Desiccated coconut for coating
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, add the white chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or use the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate and butter with the coconut oil, condensed milk, and coconut shreds. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Chill the Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until it firms up enough to handle easily.
- Form the Balls: Remove the mixture from the fridge. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture, flatten it slightly in your hand, and place one roasted almond in the center. Gently roll the mixture around the almond to form a ball.
- Coat with Coconut: Roll each ball in desiccated coconut until fully coated. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Chill Again: Once all the balls are formed, place them in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
- Serve: Serve chilled and enjoy! You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
