Coconut Dome Base
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing)
Chocolate Coating
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the coconut domes.
- Prepare Coconut Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut with the sweetened condensed milk until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and well combined.
- Grease and Shape Domes: Grease dome-shaped molds generously with unsalted butter. Press the coconut mixture firmly into each mold, shaping the domes evenly.
- Bake Domes: Place the molds in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the domes turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Cool Domes: Remove the baked domes from the oven and allow them to cool completely before carefully removing them from the molds to maintain their shape.
- Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler method, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Dip Domes in Chocolate: Dip each cooled coconut dome into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place them onto parchment paper to set.
- Chill to Set Chocolate: Chill the coated domes in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens completely, then serve and enjoy your delicious Coconut Domes with Chocolate.
Notes
- Make sure the coconut domes are completely cool before dipping in chocolate to avoid melting the coating.
- You can substitute dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate based on your preference.
- Press the coconut mixture firmly into the molds for well-shaped domes.
- Store finished domes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
