Coconut Cheese Bites Recipe
Table of Contents
Ingredients
400 g (14 oz) light cheese (ricotta or cottage cheese)
200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate (or milk chocolate without added sugar)
100 g (1 cup) grated coconut flakes
100 g (3/4 cup) milk powder
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Coconut Cheese Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the light cheese, grated coconut flakes, and milk powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, and the mixture becomes smooth. This mixture should be firm enough to shape but still soft to the touch, ensuring that the bites will hold their shape once chilled.
2. Shape the Bites
Using your hands, take small portions of the coconut cheese mixture and form them into balls or bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniformity in size to ensure even chilling and coating. Place the shaped bites onto a lined baking tray or plate, making sure they are spaced apart to avoid sticking.
3. Chill the Bites
Refrigerate the bites for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. This step is crucial as it makes the bites easier to handle when dipping in chocolate. A well-chilled bite will also help the chocolate coating to set more quickly.
