Ingredients

Scale

3 cups finely shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt (optional)

Optional substitutions:

Use unsweetened coconut if you prefer less sweetness.
Add a teaspoon of almond extract for a different flavor profile.

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until a sticky, dough-like consistency forms.

Step2: Chill the Dough

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes. This helps firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape.

Step3: Shape the Snowballs

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls.

Step4: Coat the Snowballs

Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to give them a snowy appearance.

Step5: Chill and Serve

Place the snowballs on a plate or tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until they are fully set. Serve cold for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Use fresh coconut: Freshly shredded coconut provides a better texture and flavor.
Add a pinch of salt: This enhances the sweetness without making it overpowering.
Chill thoroughly: Don’t skip the chilling steps, as it helps the snowballs maintain their shape.
