Coconut Mixture
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded coconut, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- 2
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
- 3
Cool and Shape
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, use your hands or a spoon to form small balls or clusters of the mixture and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Set and Serve
Let the coconut balls cool completely until set. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
