Description
Coconut Dome Bites are no‑bake sweet treats featuring a chewy coconut center, optional chocolate chunk surprise, and coated in smooth melted chocolate. Quick to make, no oven required, and wonderfully indulgent.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 cup melted chocolate (dark, milk, or semi‑sweet) for coating
- ¼ cup small chocolate chunks or chips for the inside (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is sticky and moldable.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture, flatten it slightly, place one chocolate chunk (if using) in the center, and shape into a small dome or ball.
- Place the shaped domes on a parchment‑lined tray and refrigerate for about 15–20 minutes until firm.
- Meanwhile, melt the coating chocolate until smooth and glossy.
- Once chilled, dip each dome into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip back into the bowl, then place back on the tray.
- Chill again for about 20–30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely set.
- Serve chilled or let sit briefly at room temperature before enjoying.
Notes
- Use white chocolate or milk chocolate instead of dark for a sweeter coating.
- Mix in chopped nuts, dried fruit, or toasted coconut flakes into the center for extra texture.
- To make dairy‑free: substitute sweetened condensed coconut milk and use dairy‑free chocolate.
- Before the coating sets, sprinkle sea salt or extra shredded coconut on top for a decorative finish.
