Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon pandan extract, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until the color is even and green.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 cup of the shredded coconut and stir until the mixture comes together into a thick, sticky dough that holds its shape when pressed.

  3. Step 3

    Using your hands, roll the mixture into 12 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter, pressing firmly so they stay together.

  4. Step 4

    Place the remaining 1/2 cup shredded coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll each ball in the coconut to coat evenly, then serve or store in an airtight container.
