Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Add the green food coloring to the mixture and mix well until the dough is evenly tinted green.
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.
Place the coconut trees on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
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.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the tops of the trees, letting it drip down the sides to resemble snow.
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.
Refrigerate the trees for another 10 minutes to set the decorations and chocolate.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store the trees in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
