Jeweled Coconut Drops

Sweet, chewy coconut delights with a gorgeous, vibrant twist are Jeweled Coconut Drops! They’re ideal for serving as a sweet snack or for bringing some color to any dessert table. To make these wonderful coconut drops, follow this easy and tasty recipe:

Components:

1. 2. Half a cup of sweetened coconut shreds
2. 1/4 cup condensed milk that has been sweetened
3. One-fourth cup heavy cream
4. One teaspoon of vanilla extract
5. 1/4 teaspoon optional almond extract
6. Half a cup of mixed dried fruit, including chopped pineapple, raisins, candied cherries, and other vibrant dry fruits
7. 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts, almonds, or pistachios)
8. 1/4 cup of optional tiny chocolate chips
9. Half a cup of powdered sugar (optional for rolling)

Directions:

• To make the coconut mixture, put the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and shredded coconut in a big bowl. Mix thoroughly until everything is completely combined.
• Put the seasoning in: Add the almond extract (if using) and vanilla extract and stir until smooth and thoroughly blended.
• Add the nuts and fruits and stir: Add chopped dried fruit, nuts, and micro chocolate chips (if using) and fold gently. The dried fruits will give the coconut drips a “jewel-like” look.
• Create the droplets: Using a spoon or your hands, create little mounds or drops out of the coconut mixture. Generally, 1 tablespoon per drop works nicely, but you can make them as big or small as you like.
• Optional Dust with powdered sugar: Lightly dust the drops with powdered sugar to give them a lovely finish and a hint of sweetness.
• To chill, arrange the coconut drops on a silicone mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Put them in the fridge until they are hard, about 30 to 60 minutes.
• Serve: The coconut drops are ready to eat once they have chilled and solidified. Serve them on any occasion as a vibrant, sugary treat!

Advice:

• Personalization: Don’t be afraid to experiment with the mix-ins. For added flair, you can use colored sprinkles or even different colored shredded coconut.
• Storage: To extend their shelf life, keep the jeweled coconut drops in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to three to four days in an airtight container.

These Jeweled Coconut Drops have a great chewy texture that goes well with the sweet fruits and nuts, and they are simple to create, colorful, and flavorful. Have fun!
