Description

These No-Bake Coconut Balls are an easy and delicious treat made with just two ingredients. Sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened coconut flakes combine to create a creamy, chewy dessert that requires no baking and minimal prep. Perfect for a quick snack or a crowd-pleasing party appetizer, these coconut balls are rolled in extra coconut for added texture and chilled to set. With a total preparation time of just over an hour including chilling, they’re a simple, flavorful indulgence.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 14 oz unsweetened coconut flakes (plus more for coating)
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Process Coconut Flakes: Place the unsweetened coconut flakes in a food processor and pulse several times until the flakes form a fine crumb. This creates the perfect texture to mix with the condensed milk.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Transfer the processed coconut crumbs into a large mixing bowl. Pour the 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk over the coconut. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly mix the ingredients together until the coconut is evenly coated and the mixture becomes sticky and moldable.
  3. Shape the Balls: Take about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it between your palms to form small balls. Then roll each ball in the extra unsweetened coconut flakes to coat the exterior evenly, adding an appealing texture and flavor.
  4. Chill to Set: Place the coconut balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for 1 hour. Chilling allows the sweetened condensed milk to firm up, setting the coconut balls so they hold their shape when served.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened coconut flakes for a balanced sweetness and better texture.
  • The mixture can be sticky; chilling the mixture slightly before rolling can make shaping easier.
  • Store the coconut balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For variation, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the mixture for extra flavor.
