Let’s get started.
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup shredded coconut (plus more for topping)
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional topping: Toasted coconut flakes or a drizzle of melted white chocolate
Pro Tips
- Toast the coconut! It adds extra crunch and a deeper coconut flavor.
- Melt the chocolate slowly. White chocolate burns fast—keep the heat low and stir constantly.

- Mix in extras! Add chopped macadamia nuts or dark chocolate chips for a fun twist.
