Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded coconut and the cocoa powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the ingredients form a sticky, cohesive dough.
Place the dough in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to handle.
Pour the additional shredded coconut onto a plate and set aside.
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.
Roll each ball in the additional shredded coconut to coat the outside completely.
If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the snowballs for an extra layer of sweetness and a frosted look.
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.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
