Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tbsp butter softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 12 oz melting chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to hold the coconut cream balls as they chill.
  • In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until thick and sticky. Stir in the shredded coconut until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to firm up.
  • Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls or egg shapes. Arrange the shaped balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
  • Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or use a double boiler on the stove.
  • Using a fork, dip each frozen coconut ball in the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated ball back on the parchment-lined sheet, and repeat for each.
  • Place the chocolate-coated balls in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
  • Once set, arrange the coconut balls on a platter for serving. Keep any extras in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature!

Notes

Feel free to add toppings like sprinkles, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of white chocolate on the finished balls for extra flair.
