Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Key lime zest
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Extra unsweetened shredded coconut (for coating)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened shredded coconut, key lime juice, and key lime zest. Stir until the mixture is well blended and forms a sticky dough-like consistency.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
While the mixture chills, place the extra unsweetened shredded coconut for coating into a shallow bowl or plate.
Remove the chilled mixture from the refrigerator. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a smooth ball using your hands.
Gently roll each snowball in the extra shredded coconut, pressing slightly to adhere the coconut coating to the surface of the ball.
Place the coated snowballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Once all the snowballs are formed and coated, refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to firm up and enhance the flavors.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
