Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded coconut unsweetened or sweetened, based on preference
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Form Snowballs: Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop the mixture and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Chill: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the snowballs to firm up.
  • Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once chilled, roll each coconut ball in powdered sugar until evenly coated, giving them a snowy appearance.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Customization: For added flavor, consider mixing in mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or a dash of almond extract.
Vegan Option: Substitute sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
These Coconut Snowballs are irresistibly soft, chewy, and a hit at any gathering!
