Ingredients
For the Coconut Dome:
2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup coconut cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Spread:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Coconut Dome:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, coconut cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a dome. Place on a lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the domes for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Prepare the Chocolate Spread:
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and honey (if using) to the cream. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Allow the chocolate spread to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Once the coconut domes are firm, spoon or drizzle the chocolate spread over the top of each dome, letting it cascade down the sides.
- Return the domes to the refrigerator to set the chocolate for about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a less sweet version, use unsweetened shredded coconut and adjust the sweetened condensed milk to taste.
The chocolate spread can be made without honey if you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor.
These domes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
