Ingredients

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup ripe mango, pureed
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium nonstick saucepan, combine 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup pureed ripe mango, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
2. Step 2: Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 12-15 minutes until the mixture thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan when stirring.
3. Step 3: Remove the mixture from heat and transfer to a greased plate. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
4. Step 4: Spread 1/2 cup granulated sugar on a plate. Using buttered hands, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls.
5. Step 5: Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat fully, then place on parchment paper to set. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
