Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons strawberry flavor gelatin or essence
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- a few drops pink food coloring
- a few drops yellow food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Base Mixture:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and the texture is dough-like. - Divide the Mixture:
– Divide the mixture into three equal parts in separate bowls. - Flavor and Color:
– Chocolate: In the first bowl, add cocoa powder and mix well until fully combined.
– Strawberry: In the second bowl, add the strawberry flavor and a few drops of pink food coloring. Mix well.
– Vanilla: Leave the third bowl as it is or add a few drops of yellow food coloring for a bright hue. - Form the Balls:
– From each flavored mixture, scoop a small portion and roll it into a ball.
– Take a small portion from each flavor and gently press them together to form a larger tricolor ball. - Coating:
– Roll the tricolor balls in granulated sugar until fully coated. - Chill:
– Place the sweet balls on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Notes
- Ensure each flavor mixture is well-incorporated before forming the balls to maintain color distribution.
- Adjust food coloring based on preference for a brighter or pastel look.
- These sweet balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Experiment with other flavors and colors for further customization.
