Description
These Coconut Domes with Chocolate Spread are a no-bake treat with big “wow” energy. Each dome is soft, coconutty, and lightly chewy, then coated in a glossy chocolate spread that sets into the perfect bite. They’re easy to shape, great for parties, and taste like a tropical truffle — without any fancy baking skills.
Ingredients
– 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
– 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1/4 cup almond flour (helps bind + keeps domes sturdy)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted
– 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, boosts chocolate flavor)
– Optional: toasted coconut flakes for garnish
Instructions
1. 1. In a bowl, mix shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, almond flour, vanilla, and salt until the mixture is thick and sticky.
2. 2. Scoop 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the mixture and shape into domes (or balls). Place on a parchment-lined tray.
3. 3. Freeze for 25–30 minutes, until firm enough to coat without falling apart.
4. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk melted dark chocolate with melted coconut oil until smooth. If using, whisk in cocoa powder for a deeper “spread” flavor.
5. 5. Dip each chilled dome into the chocolate mixture (or spoon chocolate over the top), letting excess drip off.
6. 6. Place domes back on the tray and sprinkle with toasted coconut if desired.
7. 7. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, until the chocolate coating is set.
8. 8. Serve chilled for the cleanest bite, or let sit 5 minutes at room temp for a softer center.
Notes
– For best texture, chill the domes before coating — it keeps the chocolate layer smooth and even.
– Dairy-free swap: use sweetened condensed coconut milk (not plain coconut cream) for similar sweetness + binding.
– Want a stronger “spread” vibe? Let the chocolate mixture cool 3–5 minutes before dipping so it coats thicker.
