Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup additional shredded coconut
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded coconut and the cocoa powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the ingredients form a sticky, cohesive dough.
Step 3
Place the dough in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to handle.
Step 4
Pour the additional shredded coconut onto a plate and set aside.
Step 5
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands.
Step 6
Roll each ball in the additional shredded coconut to coat the outside completely.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the snowballs for an extra layer of sweetness and a frosted look.
Step 8
Place the finished snowballs on a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
