Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the grated coconut, condensed milk, vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  2. Work it with a spoon until you get a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
  3. If the dough is too soft, add a little more grated coconut; if it is too dry, add a little condensed milk.
  4. Shape small balls about 3 cm across between damp palms.
  5. Mix the grated coconut and icing sugar for the coating in a plate.
  6. Roll each ball in this mixture to coat it.
  7. Place the balls on a plate or a sheet of baking paper.
  8. Let them firm up for 30 minutes in the fridge before serving.

Variations and tips

Chocolate version. Add 30 g of unsweetened cocoa to the dough for richer balls.
