Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1.5 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups Festive sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded sweetened coconut, reserving the remaining 0.5 cup for coating later.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball between your palms. Repeat with the rest of the dough until you have formed about 20 balls.
Spread the reserved shredded coconut and festive sprinkles (if using) on a plate. Roll each ball in the coconut or sprinkles to coat them evenly.
Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
Refrigerate the Christmas Balls for at least 1 hour to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
