Description
Creamy coconut filling covered with rich chocolate!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw sugar
- 1 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 TBSP butter
- 4 cups of unsweetened, dried coconut
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 18 oz chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Condensed Milk
- In a saucepan, combine raw sugar, whole milk, vanilla, and 2 TB of butter over medium heat and whisk well.
- Once everything is combined and reaches a low simmer, turn heat to low. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until mixture reduces to 1 cup. Whisk every so often.
- Center Mixture
- In a food processor, add coconut, walnuts, powdered sugar, remaining butter, and the condensed milk mixture. Pulse till combined and has a sticky consistency.
- Scoop out mixture into little balls and place on wax paper.
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Chocolate Coating
- About 8 minutes before you take your center mix out of the freezer, place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double broiler to melt. Mix well.
- Once chocolate mixture is ready, pull out the frozen centers and dip them one at a time into the chocolate mix until coated.
- Use a toothpick to pull out of chocolate and place the coated bonbons onto wax paper.
- Return to freezer when all bonbons are coated.
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
Notes
- I like to leave the bonbons in the freezer and will pull them out right before I am going to eat them or before guests arrive. After they sit out for a while they will have condensation on them from temperature change, but I feel they hold their shape and last longest in the freezer.
