Description

Indulge in these delightful Pink Creamy Coconut Hearts, a luscious and festive treat combining shredded coconut, creamy butter, and smooth white chocolate flavored with a hint of vanilla and sweetened condensed milk. Perfect for parties or gifting, these sweet coconut confections are beautifully tinted with pink food coloring for an eye-catching presentation.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Red or pink food coloring (optional, for a festive pink hue)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut, softened unsalted butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. If using, add a few drops of red or pink food coloring to create a festive pink color. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
  2. Shape the Hearts: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small heart-shaped pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the white chocolate chips in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring between each burst until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Coat the Hearts: Dip each shaped coconut heart into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Return the coated hearts to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet with the coated hearts in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the white chocolate has hardened and set completely.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, arrange the Pink Creamy Coconut Hearts on a serving plate. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

  • If you prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the amount of powdered sugar slightly.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth coating.
  • The red or pink food coloring is optional but adds a lovely festive touch to the coconut dough.
  • These treats can also be made into other shapes using cookie cutters for variety.
