In a bowl, mix shredded sweetened natural coconut with sweetened condensed milk until you get a thick and sticky paste.

Place the coconut paste in the fridge while preparing the chocolate.

In a bowl, combine 70% dark chocolate and a bit of butter.

Microwave the chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, mixing in between to avoid burning, until melted.

Using a silicone mold, place a little bit of melted chocolate in each cavity and use a brush to spread it on the bottom and sides.

Place the mold in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Add another layer of melted chocolate to the mold to ensure the bottom and sides are thick.

Freeze the mold again for 5 minutes.

Add the coconut filling into the chocolate shells.

Spoon more melted chocolate on top and use a spatula to flatten the surface.

Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.

Warm the bottom of the mold with your fingers and carefully unmold the chocolates.
