Coquitos (Coconut Balls)



Ingredients:

14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
13 oz of desiccated coconut (If you can only get shredded coconut, that works too, you will however need closer to 15-16 oz.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract


 Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, the coconut and the vanilla extract in a mixer bowl and combine thoroughly with the paddle attachment.
 Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then come back and gage the consistency. If you scoop some out, can you easily form it into a ball and does it hold it’s shape without looking crumbly or falling flat? Then you are right on!
If it seems a little wet, add a little more coconut, like 1 tbsp at the time, mixing in between.
Scoop them onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes
