No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Balls

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Cakes and Desserts
Coconut balls are the queen of 'no-bake' sweets. It relies on the absorbency of ground biscuits: they soak up the flavored butter-milk mixture and, upon chilling, take on a moldable, truffle-like texture. Despite its simplicity, the quality of the butter and the resting time determine the final result.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the cracker crumbs with the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.

Tip: Taste the crumbs; if they are very sweet, reduce the sugar slightly.
2 ✓

Melt the butter and mix it with the milk and vanilla/rum extract.

Tip: Fat helps deliver flavors to the taste buds.
3 ✓

Pour the liquid into the crumb mixture and knead by hand. If it crumbles, add a splash of milk.

Tip: Let it sit for 10 minutes so the crumbs can absorb the liquid.
4 ✓

With wet hands, form walnut-sized balls and roll them in shredded coconut.

Tip: Water prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands, and the coconut adheres better.
5 ✓

Refrigerate for 1 hour so the butter hardens and the balls hold their shape.

Tip: At room temperature, the balls may soften.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the mixture too soft?
The butter or milk might have been too hot, or the crumbs didn't absorb enough moisture. Chill for 30 minutes before shaping.
