These No-Bake Coconut Cream Balls are a sweet, creamy treat made with shredded coconut and powdered sugar, then dipped in chocolate. Perfect for holidays or as a bite-sized dessert, they’re easy to make and a delight for coconut lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened, as desired)
  • 12 oz melting chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until fully combined and the mixture is thick.
    • Stir in the shredded coconut until well distributed.
  • Chill the Mixture:
    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour to firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape.
  • Shape the Coconut Balls:
    • Dust your hands lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Once all balls are shaped, place them in the freezer for 1 hour to set.
  • Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  • Dip the Coconut Balls:
    • Using a fork, dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then transfer it back to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Optional: Sprinkle a bit of extra shredded coconut or sea salt on top while the chocolate is still wet for added texture.
  • Set the Chocolate:
    • Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  • Serve:
    • Serve the coconut balls chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Variations: Try adding a drop of vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor, or sprinkle with chopped nuts before the chocolate hardens.
  • Storage: These treats will keep well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
