Ingredients

Instructions

1. Finely chop the glace cherries into small chunks, or puree them in a food processor.
2. Put the chopped cherries into a large bowl.
3. Add the desiccated coconut and sweetened condensed milk and mix until well combined and sticky.
4. Add the pink food colouring and mix until evenly distributed.
5. Roll the mixture into heaped teaspoon-sized balls, place them on a baking tray and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Put the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave and heat on 50% power in 30-second bursts until just melted, stirring each time with a dry metal spoon.
7. Using two forks, dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
8. Return the balls to the baking tray, top each with a small Cherry Ripe square, and repeat with the remaining balls.
9. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
