Stuffed Coconut Balls — Image Descriptions & Quick Recipe (English)
This page provides clear English descriptions and accessible alt text for three images you described: a stuffing step, a dipping/glazing step, and the final plated coconut balls (sometimes called Richbond or filled coconut cookies). Below you’ll find captions, suggested alt text for accessibility, and a short recipe that matches the pictured steps.
Short English Explanation (based on your French description)
The final pastries appear to be round coconut balls—small cakes rolled in shredded coconut. They are often filled with a jam or a small dollop of cream or chocolate (this is visible in the top-left image where a filling is injected). The top-right image shows a cookie being dipped into a liquid (likely a glaze or coating) so the shredded coconut will stick; the bottom image shows the finished product, neatly arranged on a plate.
Quick Recipe (Matches the Three Images)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup desiccated coconut or almond flour (for structure)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Filling options: jam, chocolate ganache, dulce de leche, or pastry cream
- Optional glaze: melted chocolate or simple sugar glaze (1 cup powdered sugar + 2–3 tbsp milk)
Steps:
1. Mix shredded coconut, desiccated coconut (or almond flour), sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until a sticky, scoopable dough forms.
2. Chill the mixture 20–30 minutes to firm slightly.
3. Scoop small portions, flatten, place a small spoonful of your chosen filling in the center, then fold dough around the filling to form a smooth ball. (This matches the stuffing/injecting step.)
4. For a sticky surface, dip each ball quickly into a thin glaze or brush with a light coating of condensed milk or melted chocolate. (This matches the dipping step.)
5. Roll immediately in extra shredded coconut until fully coated.
6. Chill until set. Serve on a plate or in paper liners.
Notes:
- To inject filling after shaping, use a small piping tip and syringe to push filling into the formed ball.
- For a firmer texture, add a little more desiccated coconut or refrigerate longer.
