These No-Bake Coconut Cookie Balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat, perfect for a quick dessert or snack.

The balls are formed by mixing the ingredients, shaped by hand, and chilled until firm, resulting in a rich, creamy, and coconutty bite-sized delight.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, based on preference)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut with the heavy cream. Mix thoroughly to ensure the coconut is evenly coated and the mixture holds together when formed.
  2. Form the Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls. Make sure they are compact to hold their shape after chilling.
  3. Coat with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it for a rich outer layer.
  4. Chill Until Firm: Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is set and the balls are firm to the touch.

Notes

  • Use sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut depending on your sweetness preference.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content.
  • If the mixture is too dry to form balls, add a little more cream, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Store these cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • They can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw before serving.
