Ingredients
  

For the Coconut Filling:
  • 2 cups shredded coconut unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Coating:
  • 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate chopped or use chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for a smoother finish
For Decoration (optional):
  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Shredded coconut to sprinkle

Method
 

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