Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a bowl over simmering water until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add shredded coconut and salt to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm enough to handle.

Once chilled, scoop out small portions and roll them into balls with your hands.

Roll each ball in cocoa powder to coat evenly.

Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill again for at least 15 minutes to set the shape.

Optionally, press an almond into the center of each ball for decoration.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
