Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups shredded coconut Use medium-grain and unsweetened if preferred.
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar Plus additional for rolling.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional for added flavor.
- 1/4 cup almond flour Optional for a nutty flavor.
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips Optional for coating.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond flour (if using).
- Use a sturdy spoon or silicone spatula to fold ingredients until the coconut is fully coated and the sugar disappears into the milk.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to hydrate the coconut.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or set out a plate for the finished snowballs.
Shaping
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- If the mixture sticks, dust your palms with powdered sugar or chill the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes.
Coating and Chilling
- If desired, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and dip each snowball into the melted chocolate, then roll in additional powdered sugar.
- Place the snowballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Serving
- Serve cold or at room temperature, either on a platter or packed into airtight containers.
