Ingredients
- 3 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 drops Green food coloring
- 4 ounces White chocolate
- 3 tablespoons Colorful sprinkles
- 12 pieces Star-shaped sugar decorations
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Step 2
Add the green food coloring to the mixture and mix well until the dough is evenly tinted green.
Step 3
Using clean hands, take about 2 tablespoons of the dough and shape it into a small cone to resemble a Christmas tree. Repeat with the remaining dough to form approximately 12 trees.
Step 4
Place the coconut trees on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 5
While the trees are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 6
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the tops of the trees, letting it drip down the sides to resemble snow.
Step 7
Decorate the trees by sprinkling colorful sprinkles over the melted white chocolate while still tacky, and place a star-shaped sugar decoration on top of each tree.
Step 8
Refrigerate the trees for another 10 minutes to set the decorations and chocolate.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store the trees in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
