Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (make sure it’s well-drained), shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir the mixture together until everything is fully incorporated.
- Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the extra shredded coconut to coat them evenly.
- Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.

Notes
- If you want to add a bit of extra sweetness or flavor, you can roll the balls in powdered sugar or even drizzle some melted chocolate over them before refrigerating.
- Make sure to drain the pineapple well to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
- These no-bake balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- For a fun variation, you can add chopped nuts (such as macadamia or almonds) into the mixture for a bit of crunch.
