Ingredients

360 g (4 cups) desiccated coconut
395 g sweetened condensed milk
250 g dark chocolate

Instructions

Conventional Method

Place the coconut and sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl and mix until well combined (it will be sticky).
Roll mixture into heaped teaspoon-sized balls and place onto a baking tray.
Place the tray into the freezer for 30 minutes to firm.
Place the dark chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl.
Melt on 50% power in 30 second bursts until just melted (stirring each time with a dry metal spoon).
Using two small spoons, dip and coat each of the coconut balls into the melted chocolate mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place back onto the baking tray and drizzle with extra melted chocolate if desired.
TIP: I like to drizzle a small amount of white chocolate over the top for contrast.
Repeat with remaining balls.
Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Thermomix Method

Add the coconut and sweetened condensed milk to the Thermomix bowl and mix on Reverse, Speed 4 until completely combined.
Roll mixture into heaped teaspoon-sized balls and place onto a baking tray.
Place the tray into the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
Place chocolate melts into a clean and dry Thermomix bowl. Melt for 3 minutes, 50 degrees, Speed 2, or until melted.
Using two small spoons, dip and coat each of the coconut balls into the melted chocolate mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place back onto the baking tray and drizzle with extra melted chocolate if desired.
TIP: I like to drizzle a small amount of white chocolate over the top for contrast.
Repeat with remaining balls.
Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Sweetened Condensed Milk - I recommend using full fat (not skim or light) sweetened condensed milk as it sets firmer. Nestle is my preferred brand.
Chilling the balls - if you don't freeze the balls before dipping them into the melted chocolate, they will be too soft and will fall apart. Don't skip this step!
Dipping the balls in chocolate - place the melted chocolate into a small bowl or ramekin. Use two small spoons to quickly toss the balls (one at a time) through the melted chocolate until they are completely coated. Allow any excess to drip off before placing onto a flat tray.
Store - the Bounty Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Freeze - the balls in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.
