Ingredients

• 2 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons Lime zest
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Thai basil (finely chopped, optional)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Extra shredded coconut (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded unsweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract. If you're using Thai basil, fold it into the mixture for a subtle, herbal hint.

Step 2

Using a rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients until well-combined and the texture resembles a sticky dough.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly for easier handling.

Step 4

Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat until all the mixture has been used.

Step 5

Spread the extra shredded coconut on a plate. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until evenly coated.

Step 6

Arrange the coated snowballs on a serving plate or an airtight container lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
