Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-ounce or 396 g
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes plus more for dredging
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter softened (plus more for greasing a plate and your hands)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
- Cloves for garnishing optional
Instructions
- Mix the condensed milk, coconut flakes, and butter together.
- Cook in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 5-8 minutes).
- When coconut kisses 'dough' is ready, remove from the heat, mix in the vanilla extract, and spread the mixture onto a greased plate.
- Let cool to room temperature before starting to roll them into balls with greased hands. Use a ½ Tablespoon as measurement. Then, dredge gently in the coconut flakes until totally covered.
- Place into paper bonbon cups. Stick a clove atop (center) of each coconut kiss if desired. The clove is only for decoration and must be removed right before eating!!!
Notes
- STORAGE
- Store coconut kisses in a clean airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- This is one of those easy freezer recipes that can keep frozen for up to 2 months. Place the coconut balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours. Then transfer them to a freezer bag or plastic container and lay them in one single layer.
- Thaw in the fridge before dredging in coconut flakes and serving.
- If you would like to infuse these coconut balls with the aroma of cloves, store the candies and cloves in the same container.
