Recipe of Coconut balls (lactose-free)
Vida Recetas Editorial
If you are looking for sweets that are easy and lactose-free, these coconut balls are the perfect choice. A classic of homemade baking that comes together in minutes with just three ingredients: Maria biscuits, lactose-free condensed milk, and shredded coconut. Ideal for those with celiac disease (if you use gluten-free biscuits) and for those avoiding lactose, these sweet bites are great for an afternoon snack with friends, a birthday party, or just as a treat for yourself.
Why do these balls triumph?
Their texture is soft and creamy on the inside, with a crunchy coconut exterior that makes them irresistible. Plus, they require no oven, just a little time in the fridge. They are so simple that kids can help shape them. The original recipe is very popular in Spain and Latin America, with variations that add chocolate, coffee, or nuts. In this lactose-free version, everyone can enjoy them.
The trick is in the proportions: the condensed milk should bind the biscuits without making the mixture too sticky. Using a spoon, form small balls and roll them in coconut. After a while in the cold, they are ready to eat. Go ahead and make them to surprise everyone!
