Notes
Sweetness Adjustment: If you’d like a sweeter treat, add a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar to the coconut mixture.
Chocolate Substitution: You can use milk chocolate or white chocolate if preferred, but dark chocolate complements the coconut flavor perfectly.
Nutty Twist: For added crunch, consider adding chopped almonds or your favorite nuts to the coconut filling.
Flavor Boost: A teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the coconut flavor.
