Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened based on preference)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest (freshly grated from about 1 lime)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded coconut, lime zest, and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is well combined and sticky enough to form balls.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch diameter balls. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
- Chill: Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to set and firm up before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of lime zest to make the flavor more or less tangy according to your preference.
- If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more shredded coconut to reach the desired consistency.
- For a nuttier texture, consider toasting the shredded coconut lightly before mixing.
- These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
