Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts)
  • Chocolate drizzle or melted chocolate
  • Shredded coconut for garnish
  • Toasted nuts
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients precisely to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine desiccated coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until fully incorporated into a sticky, thick mixture.
  3. Add Butter and Vanilla: Add softened butter and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until the butter is evenly distributed, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Shape the Domes: Using clean hands or a small mold, form the mixture into dome shapes on parchment paper. Press firmly so the domes hold their shape without crumbling.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the formed domes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up, allowing the butter to solidify and maintain the dome structure.

Notes

  • Use fresh or good-quality desiccated coconut for the best flavor.
  • Don’t skip the chilling step to ensure domes stay intact and taste better.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the mixture before shaping and adding more powdered sugar if preferred.
  • Lightly grease your hands or molds to make shaping easier.
  • Store domes refrigerated in an airtight container to keep them fresh and maintain texture.
