Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest (about 12 limes)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded coconut, lime zest, and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is sticky and holds together well.
  2. Shape the Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact and even.
  3. Chill and Set: Place the formed balls on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and enhance the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • For extra texture and flavor, you can lightly toast the shredded coconut before mixing.
  • Adjust the amount of condensed milk slightly if the mixture is too dry or too sticky.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
