For many, there is no celebration without a good homemade coconut dessert. Among these, coconut balls hold a special place. They are loved by both young and old, and their preparation is not overly demanding or time-consuming, so we can leave it to the children while we focus on preparing other ingredients needed for a good homemade party or celebration.

Ingredients

Balls

  • 2 bags Pudding, vanilla

  • 5 dl Milk, whole milk

  • 2 spoons Sugar, white

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

  • 200 g Butter, unsalted

  • 200 g Powdered sugar

  • 150 g Coconut, flakes

  • 80 g Coconut, flakes

  • pieces Nuts, almonds

Steps

  1. According to the manufacturer's instructions, cook the pudding from milk, sugar, and pudding powder, then let it cool to room temperature. Stir the pudding several times while cooling to prevent a "skin" from forming on the surface (you can also cover it with a piece of transparent food wrap).

  2. Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the cooled pudding and mix well until you get a completely smooth and uniform mixture, then stir in the coconut. Cover the bowl with the prepared mixture and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the mixture to cool and firm up.

  3. Using clean hands, shape the cooled mixture into balls of any size, stuffing them with peeled almonds or hazelnuts. Finally, roll the balls in coconut flour, place them on a plate or platter, and serve.
