Into a mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Mix it with a spoon or a spatula until well combined and the coconut is covered evenly with the condensed milk.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This way it will be easier to roll the balls. (optional)
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the balls (or about 1 tbsp). Roll them into balls using your clean hands and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
How to melt chocolate
To melt chocolate, start by chopping it into small, even pieces to ensure even melting.
Then, choose a method such as using a double boiler or microwave to slowly heat the chocolate until it reaches a smooth and liquid consistency.
Stir frequently to prevent overheating or burning. Remember to be patient and avoid any contact with water, as even a small amount can cause the chocolate to seize and become unusable.
Once your chocolate has melted, place each ball on a fork or a spoon and gently dip it into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to drizzle more chocolate on top.
Place the balls in the fridge to firm up for about 30 minutes, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
