Anleitungen
 

  • Prepare the Coconut Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the Coconut: Stir in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. The mixture should become thick and dough-like.
  • Form the Balls: Scoop small portions of the coconut mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the coconut balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt the Chocolate: While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
  • Coat the Balls in Chocolate: Once the coconut balls are chilled and the chocolate is ready, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift them out and let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the baking sheet.
  • Cool the Chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated balls back in the fridge for 20–30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Notizen

Alternative Chocolate Coatings: You can also use white chocolate or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
Flavor Adjustments: Add more shredded coconut or a splash of coconut extract for an even more intense coconut flavor.
Dairy-Free Option: Replace the cream cheese with a dairy-free cream alternative to make it vegan.
