  • Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry powder, coconut, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until a soft dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more condensed milk; if too wet, add more coconut.
  • Form the Balls: Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands. Roll each ball in extra coconut or a blend of coconut and reserved strawberry powder.
  • Chill and Set: Place the finished balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Tips for Success

    • Freeze-dried vs fresh: Freeze-dried strawberries are key here—they deliver concentrated flavor without adding moisture.
    • Want it pinker? Add a drop of natural food coloring or beet juice for an extra pink hue.
    • Perfect for holidays: Roll in white chocolate and sprinkles for Valentine’s Day or use green-dyed coconut for a festive Christmas treat.
