Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: melted chocolate, chopped nuts, additional shredded coconut
Instructions
- Drain the pineapple: Place the crushed pineapple in a strainer and press out as much liquid as possible.
- Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple, shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly combined.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the mixture easier to handle.
- Shape the bites: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form bite-sized balls.
- Add toppings (optional): Roll the bites in additional shredded coconut, drizzle with melted chocolate, or sprinkle with chopped nuts.
- Set the bites: Place the finished bites on a tray lined with wax or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least an hour to firm up.
Notes
Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid soggy bites. Chill the mixture if it becomes too sticky to handle. Experiment with toppings like crushed graham crackers or toasted coconut for added variety.
