Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, plus extra for rolling
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips (mini chocolate chips recommended)
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together ½ cup softened butter, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup chocolate chips until well combined.
- Chill the mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow it to firm up for easier shaping.
- Form balls: Using your hands or a scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Coat with graham crumbs: Roll each ball in extra graham cracker crumbs until fully coated for added texture and appearance.
- Final chill: Refrigerate the coated balls for another 30 minutes to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Use softened butter: Soft butter blends smoothly with the condensed milk to create a creamy, lump-free mixture.
- Sweetened shredded coconut is key: It adds moisture and sweetness for a soft, chewy texture; unsweetened coconut can dry out the mixture.
- Graham cracker crumbs add structure: If the mixture is too soft to roll, add an extra tablespoon or two of crumbs until the balls hold their shape.
- Chill twice: Chilling before and after shaping helps the balls firm up perfectly.
- Mini chocolate chips work best: They distribute evenly, providing delightful little bursts of chocolate.
- Make-ahead friendly: Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months for convenience.
- Customization options: Swap graham cracker crumbs for Biscoff crumbs, add chopped nuts, or roll in shredded coconut for variation.
