Ingredients
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- A ½ cup of coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
- A pinch of salt
- Around ⅔ cup of marshmallows
- 4 cups of crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies®)
- Approximately ½ cup of coconut flakes, adjust to your preference
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the condensed milk, coconut milk, and butter. Stir gently until the butter has melted and the mixture is well combined. Don't forget to sprinkle in a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement.
Step 2
Next, turn up the heat to medium-low and introduce the marshmallows into the mix. Keep stirring until they fully dissolve, creating a luscious, jelly-like texture that holds together and easily pulls away from the pan's edges.
Step 3
Now, up the heat to medium and let the concoction simmer a bit more, achieving a smoother, runnier consistency. Take it off the heat and fold in the rice cereal and 1/2 cup of coconut flakes, ensuring every morsel gets a delicious coating. Allow the mixture to rest and cool for about half an hour.
Step 4
When it's time to shape the treats, don a pair of plastic gloves and roll the mixture into charming 1-inch balls using your hands. For an extra touch of coconut goodness, sprinkle additional coconut flakes over the top before serving. Enjoy your delectable creations!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your coconut rice treats in an airtight container to preserve their freshness and prevent them from absorbing other flavors in the fridge.
- 2. For a tropical twist, store your coconut rice treats in a coconut shell or a palm leaf to enhance the island vibes.
