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

Instructions
 

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!
