PINK COCONUT CHOCOLATES

PINK COCONUT CHOCOLATES
400 grams of dessicated coconut
1 tin of condensed milk
1 drop of vanilla essence
1 drop of pink food colouring

To dip
2 big slabs of chocolate melted in a heat proof bowl placed over a small pot with hot simmering water.

In a large bowl mix all your ingredients together with a spoon. Next, with clean hands shape into small balls and place on a baking sheet or foil, cover and allow to harden in fridge for a few hours.

Next take your pink coconut balls and dip in the melted chocolate using a fork and use this fork to gently shake off any access chocolate. With the help of another fork or spoon gently push off the chocolate covered coconut ball and place on a piece of baking paper or foil and allow to set. You may place in the fridge as well.

Tip

You may use white or dark chocolate, you can colour your coconut mix any colour you like and you can also flavour it with any essence you like. I make these chocolate treats as a gift to loved ones, you can wrap it up or place in a tiny cupcake holder and gift wrap.
