Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the shredded coconut. If using optional ingredients like graham crumbs, chocolate chips, or nuts, add them now and stir until evenly distributed.
Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for about 20–30 minutes. This makes it easier to shape.
Roll into Balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into small balls using your hands. You can lightly grease your hands for less sticking.
Optional Coating: Roll each ball in extra coconut, crushed graham crumbs, or dip them in melted chocolate for a fancier finish.
Final Chill: Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
