How to Make These Coconut Chocolate Balls Recipe
This Bounty balls recipe could not be easier. No baking, no hassle, just mix, roll, dip, and chill. Follow these simple steps for the perfect chocolate coconut treat!
Step 1: Mix It Up
In a bowl, combine the coconut, salt, and condensed milk. Stir well until everything sticks together. This forms the perfect base for your homemade Bounty treats.
Step 2: Roll Into Balls
Scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized coconut balls—about an inch in diameter. You should get around 13 balls, but feel free to make them smaller or bigger.
Tip: Chill the mixture before rolling – If your coconut mixture is too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before shaping the balls. This makes them much easier to roll.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
Now, let’s melt some chocolate! You can do this over hot water using a double boiler, which gives you smooth, even melting. Or, if you want a quicker option, simply melt it in the microwave. If you’re adding crushed nuts, mix them in now! The melted chocolate will coat each no-cook chocolate coconut ball with a smooth and delicious layer.
Top Tip: Switch up the chocolate – Try dark, milk, or white chocolate for different flavors.
Step 4: Dip, Coat & Chill
Drop each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, rolling it around until fully coated. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Then, they’re ready to enjoy!
Note: If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the desiccated coconut in a food processor for a few seconds before mixing with condensed milk. This gives the filling a softer, creamier bite!

Notes
- Use room temperature condensed milk – This makes it easier to mix with the coconut and creates a smoother texture for your coconut balls with condensed milk.
- Shape with damp hands – If the mixture is sticking to your hands, lightly dampen them with water before rolling your 3 ingredient chocolate coconut balls.
- Chill before dipping – For best results, refrigerate your no-cook chocolate coconut balls for at least 15 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This helps them hold their shape and makes dipping easier.
- Make them dairy-free – Swap the condensed milk for coconut condensed milk to keep your homemade Bounty balls completely dairy-free.
