Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped about 60–70% cacao
  • 1 tsp refined coconut oil to thin the chocolate
  • 2.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.75 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.5 cup coconut cream
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.13 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 1 tbsp cold water for blooming gelatin
  • 1 cup chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.5 cup toasted coconut flakes optional garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Chill silicone dome molds so the chocolate sets quickly.
  • Melt chocolate with coconut oil in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
  • Coat each mold cavity with melted chocolate. Invert to drip excess and chill until firm.
  • Brush or spoon on a second thin coat to cover thin spots. Chill again to set.
  • Stir cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Set aside.
  • Bloom gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water. Let stand until hydrated.
  • Warm coconut cream gently. Whisk in bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then cool slightly.
  • Combine shredded coconut, condensed milk, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the warm coconut cream mixture.
  • Chill the filling briefly until thick but spoonable.
  • Spoon coconut filling into chocolate shells, leaving a small rim at the top.
  • Press crumb mixture over the filling to create an even base. Chill until fully set.
  • Carefully unmold domes. Patch thin spots with leftover chocolate if needed. Garnish with toasted coconut and serve.

Notes

Try a milk chocolate shell for a sweeter bite, or fold in chopped toasted almonds for a candy-bar twist. Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze on a tray then bag for up to 1 month.
