Equipment
- mixing bowl
- spoon
- baking sheet
- seive
Ingredients
- sweetened condensed milk
- unsalted butter
- vanilla extract
- shredded coconut
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the shredded coconut to the mixture. Stir until the coconut is evenly distributed and the mixture forms a sticky, dough-like consistency.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the coconut balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Place the baking sheet with the formed snowballs in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm.
- Once the snowballs are chilled and firm, remove them from the refrigerator. Using a powdered sugar shaker or a sieve, generously coat each snowball with powdered sugar. Roll them gently to ensure an even coating. The powdered sugar creates a snowy appearance.
- Arrange the Coconut Snowballs on a festive plate or in decorative boxes. Serve and enjoy these delightful treats with a warm cup of tea or hot chocolate.

Notes
- For a variation, you can add a pinch of salt or a splash of citrus zest (such as lemon or orange) to the base mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you prefer a nutty texture, you can roll the snowballs in finely chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans) instead of powdered sugar.
- Store the Coconut Snowballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To maintain their freshness, you can re-coat them with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
