Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Shell:
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
For the Coconut Filling:
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Decoration:
- 1/2 cup melted white chocolate (optional)
- Shredded coconut flakes (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Chocolate Shell:
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Using a silicone dome mold, coat the inside of each cavity with a thick layer of melted chocolate. Use a spoon or pastry brush to ensure even coverage.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator to set for about 10-15 minutes. Repeat the process with another layer of chocolate to ensure the shell is sturdy.
Make the Coconut Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the coconut is fully coated and the mixture is sticky.
Assemble the Domes:
- Once the chocolate shells are set, carefully spoon the coconut filling into each chocolate dome, pressing gently to compact the mixture and leaving a small gap at the top.
- Melt some additional chocolate to seal the bottom of the domes. Spread the melted chocolate over the coconut filling to create a base for each dome.
- Place the mold back in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to fully set.
Unmold and Decorate:
- Carefully remove the domes from the silicone mold.
- Optional: Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of each dome and sprinkle with shredded coconut flakes for a decorative touch.
Serve:
- Place the domes on a serving platter and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to allow the chocolate to soften slightly for a perfect bite.
