Easy No-Bake 3-Ingredient Bounty Balls
These no-bake Bounty balls wrap a sweet, chewy coconut center in a dark chocolate coating. The filling combines desiccated coconut with sweetened condensed milk, giving each bite plenty of coconut flavor and a moist texture. Dark chocolate balances the sweetness and adds a firm outer layer once chilled.
Equipment
- Baking tray
- Parchment paper
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups or kitchen scale
- Mixing spoon
- Teaspoon
- Small, deep microwave-safe bowl
- Two small spoons
- Airtight storage container
- Thermomix, optional
Ingredients
- 4 cups 360 g desiccated coconut
- 395 g about 14 oz full-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 250 g about 9 oz dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Stir the coconut and sweetened condensed milk together until evenly combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
- Roll heaped teaspoon-sized portions into balls and place on the tray.
- Freeze for 30 minutes, until firm enough to dip.
- Microwave the chocolate in a dry bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring with a dry spoon after each, until just melted and smooth.
- Using two small spoons, dip and turn each ball in the chocolate to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Return to the lined tray. Drizzle with any remaining melted chocolate, if desired.
- Refrigerate until the coating sets, then transfer to an airtight container.

Optional Decoration: Drizzle with melted white chocolate. This adds a fourth ingredient.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
