Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried pineapple, chopped into small pieces
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped dried pineapple, shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
- Form the Balls: Use your hands to form small balls about 1 inch in diameter from the mixture. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dampen your hands with water to help shape the balls.
- Roll in Coconut: Pour extra shredded coconut onto a plate and roll each ball in the coconut to coat evenly on all sides.
- Chill: Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until they’re firm and set.
- Serve: Once the balls are chilled and firm, they’re ready to serve. Enjoy the tropical sweetness of these delightful no-bake treats.
Notes
- You can substitute sweetened condensed milk with a vegan condensed milk alternative to make it dairy-free.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts like macadamia or almonds into the mixture.
