Ingredients

Scale

Coconut Dome Base

  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing)

Chocolate Coating

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the coconut domes.
  2. 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.
  3. Grease and Shape Domes: Grease dome-shaped molds generously with unsalted butter. Press the coconut mixture firmly into each mold, shaping the domes evenly.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler method, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
