Ingredients
Instructions
Make the Filling
-
With an electric mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy
-
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract beat again for 1 minute
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk and the almond and coconut extract
-
Fold in the shredded coconut and mix by hand until fully distributed within butter mixture
-
Fold in 1/4 cup of the chopped almond and mix well, then decide if you want more nuts fold them in.
Make the Coconut Balls
-
Using a small scoop ( #60 or #70 ), make level mounds that weigh 12 - 13 grams each. Roll in the palm of your hand to make a round ball. Place onto a baking sheet with wax paper and place into the refrigerator for 1 hour or longer.
Dip in Chocolate
-
Melt one tablespoon of Crisco in a double boiler where the top pot does not touch the water. Add 8oz chopped chocolate and stir until almost melted; remove from heat and continue to stir. Once completely melted, pierce the chilled coconut ball with a fork. Dip into the melted chocolate and place on the baking sheet with parchment paper, allowing it to form a flat bottom. You can also completely cover the coconut ball in chocolate if you choose to.
Garnish
-
Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the coconut ball and sprinkle with toasted coconut chopped almonds or both. Â
