Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (255g) chocolate chips
- 1 can (300ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups (120g) dried coconut
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (57g) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
For Rolling
- 1/2 cup (60g) additional graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract thoroughly to create a smooth base mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips into the wet mixture until all ingredients are evenly distributed and a sticky dough forms.
- Chill Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour, or alternatively, in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up enough for shaping.
- Shape into Balls: Scoop small portions approximately 1 1/4 inches in diameter and roll each portion into a ball shape with your hands.
- Coat with Graham Crumbs: Roll each shaped ball in the additional graham cracker crumbs to coat them evenly, adding texture and flavor.
- Set in Fridge: Arrange the rolled balls in a container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour until they are firm and ready to serve.
- Storage: Store the chocolate coconut graham balls in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use sweetened condensed milk for the perfect creamy sweetness that holds the mixture together.
- For a richer texture, ensure the butter is melted but not hot so it blends smoothly with the condensed milk.
- Chilling times may vary depending on the temperature of your fridge or freezer.
- These balls are best served cold but can be left at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for slightly softer texture.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
