Karioka Sweet Rice Balls

Mix rice flour, shredded coconut, and 3/4 cup coconut milk together in a bowl until dough is well mixed.

Form dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon per ball.

Heat oil in a pot over medium heat.

Fry dough balls in the hot oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Remove pot from heat and transfer balls to a paper towel-lined plate.

Pour 1/2 cup coconut milk into a saucepan; bring to a boil.

Stir brown sugar into hot coconut milk until liquid thickens, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Remove saucepan from heat, cool coconut coating slightly, and dip balls into coating.

Cool slightly before serving.
