COCONUT AND CHOCOLATE BALLS

COCONUT AND EASY CHOCOLATE BOMBONS

The coconut balls and chocolate easy , are a kind of chocolate, typical Christmas, filled with coconut. You can find them anywhere, from a month and a half before Christmas. But, if you are like me and prefer to do them at home, here I am going to tell you a very easy way to do them. In addition, they carry very few ingredients and all of them are very cheap. Let's prepare our recipe for coconut and chocolate balls easy and homemade

INGREDIENTS FOR ABOUT 15 COCONUT AND CHOCOLATE BALLS:

• 200g of grated coconut. Nowadays, they sell it in the pastry section of any supermarket
• 200g of sugar
• 120ml of water
• 200g of chocolate for desserts (depending on the brand you may have to pour 50g of butter, if it is too thick)

HOW TO MAKE EASY COCO AND CHOCOLATE BALLS:

1.- Mix the water and the sugar in a saucepan or any other container and bring it to a boil

2.- When it has broken to boil, turn off the heat and add the grated coconut. We remove and integrate all the ingredients well and then cover it and wait until it has cooled. Then we put it in the refrigerator and leave it for two hours covered

3.- After the time, the dough will be very compact and very malleable. We take a teaspoon of it and, with our hands, we shape it into a ball. It is similar to giving shape to croquettes. Then we reserve on a plate and continue making little balls

4.- When we have done all, we put them in the freezer, plate included. We leave them there for half an hour so they can be even more compact

5.- After half an hour, melt the chocolate in a water bath. It can be done in the microwave also, but I personally prefer to do it in a bain-marie because the chocolate is brighter. If you see that the chocolate is very thick (will depend on brands) add a little butter but not too much or if not then the coconut balls will be undone very easily. Then, we put the balls one by one in the melted chocolate and smear them well with it. We remove the excess chocolate and place the coconut and chocolate balls on baking paper. This will make it easier to take them off once cooled. Finally let cool in the refrigerator, before consuming

And we have our homemade coconut and chocolate balls ready . Much cheaper than bought and made by us!
