Preparation
Prepare the biscuits:
Start by blending the dry biscuits in a mixer until you have a fine powder. If you don’t have a mixer, you can put them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix the ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the cookie powder, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix all the dry ingredients well.
Add the condensed milk:
Pour in the condensed milk and, if you like, add the vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is moist and homogeneous. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you get the desired consistency.
Form the balls:
With slightly moistened hands, take small portions of the dough and shape into balls the size of a walnut.
If you like, you can roll the balls in extra shredded coconut to make them even more delicious and flavored.
Refrigerate:
Place the balls on a plate or tray and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, so that they solidify and become more compact.
Serve:
Once ready, the coconut and cocoa balls are ready to be served! You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container.
