  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 20 chocolate balls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • ½ cup desiccated coconut

Optional Add-ins

  • ¼ cup finely chopped almonds or pistachios
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom
  • ¼ cup finely chopped dried dates or apricots
  • Mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats and cocoa powder evenly, ensuring the cocoa coats the oats well for a rich chocolate taste.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough.
  3. Shape the Balls: Use your hands to scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, making sure they’re well compacted to hold together.
  4. Coat with Desiccated Coconut: Roll each chocolate ball in desiccated coconut, pressing gently so the coconut adheres, adding texture and a fresh finish.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the coated balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Chill your hands or wet them lightly before rolling to prevent sticking.
  • Use good-quality cocoa powder for better flavor.
  • Keep chocolate balls uniform in size for even chilling and presentation.
  • Taste the mixture before shaping; add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter treat.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
