Ingredients
- 5 cups unsweetened coconut, medium shred
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut, fine shred
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- liquid food colouring
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the 5 cups of medium coconut and the confectioner's sugar. Stir well until well combined.
- Chill for 15 minutes.
- Place 1/2 cup of the fine coconut into a mixing bowl. Add 3-4 drops of liquid food colouring. Use a hand-held mixer to beat until well combined and coconut has a consistent colour. Repeat this step for each colour you want to use. I did blue, green, yellow, and red.
- Once the cookie batter is chilled, portion the cookie batter into 1 1/2 teaspoon portions. Roll into balls and then roll into coloured coconut of choice. Place on a baking sheet. Once all rolled, place the baking sheet in the fridge for one hour to set and firm up.
- Keep balls refrigerated. Remove desired amount from fridge a few minutes before serving. Can be piled into a food-safe container after left to set for one hour.
