đź§ľ Ingredients

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries or 1/3 cup fresh strawberries (well mashed)
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (or coconut condensed milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, for extra sweetness
  • A pinch of salt, to enhance flavor

👩‍🍳 How to Make Strawberry Coconut Balls

Step 1: Crush the Strawberries

If using freeze-dried strawberries, pulse them in a food processor until they become a fine powder. If using fresh strawberries, mash them thoroughly to a puree.

Step 2: Mix It All Together

In a bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, strawberry powder or puree, condensed milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms. If it’s too wet, add more coconut. If it’s too dry, add a little more condensed milk.

Step 3: Shape Into Balls

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Step 4: Coat and Chill

Roll each ball in extra desiccated coconut to coat. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
