Ingredients
Method
Prepare the coconut filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix until everything is well incorporated and forms a thick, sticky mixture.
Shape the coconut domes:
- Using your hands or a small scoop, form the coconut mixture into small dome shapes. Press them tightly together to hold their shape.
- Place the domes on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate and coconut oil (if using) until smooth.
- Stir the chocolate to ensure it is evenly melted and glossy.
Coat the coconut domes:
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled coconut dome into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the domes back onto the lined baking sheet.
Chill the domes:
- Place the chocolate-coated domes in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
Decorate (optional):
- If desired, melt some white chocolate and drizzle it over the domes for decoration.
- You can also sprinkle some shredded coconut on top while the chocolate is still wet.
Serve:
- Once the chocolate is set, your Coconut Domes with Chocolate are ready to be enjoyed!
