Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-ounce or 396 g
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes plus more for dredging
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened (plus more for greasing a plate and your hands)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract optional
- Cloves for garnishing optional
Instructions
- Mix the condensed milk, coconut flakes, and butter together.
- Cook in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 7 minutes).
- When coconut kisses 'dough' is ready, remove from the heat, mix in the vanilla extract, and spread mixture onto a greased plate.
- Let cool to room temperature before starting to roll them into balls with greased hands. Use a 1/2 Tablespoon as measurement. Then, dredge gently in the coconut flakes until totally covered.
- Place into paper bonbon cups. Stick a clove atop (center) of each coconut kiss if desired. NOTE: The clove is only for decoration and must be removed right before eating!!!

- Store coconut kisses into a clean airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
