Ingredients
- 300 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 250 g Desiccated coconut
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 24 pieces Almonds (optional, for filling)
- 50 g Additional desiccated coconut (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Step 2
Add 250 grams of desiccated coconut and powdered sugar to the bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture comes together to form a sticky dough.
Step 3
If using almonds for filling, set them aside in a small bowl.
Step 4
Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it into a ball using your palms. If desired, press an almond into the center of the ball and reshape it to cover the almond completely.
Step 5
Roll the formed ball in the additional desiccated coconut to coat the outside evenly.
Step 6
Place the coated ball on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Repeat the process with the remaining coconut mixture.
Step 7
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and allow the coconut snowballs to chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 8
Once chilled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
