These Homemade Key Lime Coconut Patties are a tropical delight! The combination of sweet coconut, tangy key lime, and creamy white chocolate makes for a refreshing and indulgent treat. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or for gifting to loved ones.
Ingredients: 2 cups shredded coconut. 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk. 2 tablespoons key lime juice. 1 teaspoon key lime zest. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pinch of salt. 12 oz white chocolate chips. 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Green food coloring optional. Powdered sugar for dusting.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, key lime zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into small patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the patties. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to achieve the desired color. Remove the coconut patties from the freezer and dip each patty into the melted white chocolate, coating them completely. Use a fork to lift them out and let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place the chocolate-coated patties back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Once the chocolate has hardened, dust the tops of the patties with powdered sugar for decoration. Serve and enjoy your homemade Key Lime Coconut Patties!
