Main Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup finely chopped nuts, dried fruits, or candies
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and desiccated coconut. Fold in any optional add-ins such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or candies to enhance flavor and texture.
- Chill mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape.
- Form snowballs: Scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll each into approximately 1-inch balls using your hands for uniform size and shape.
- Coat with coconut: Roll each ball in additional desiccated coconut to evenly coat the surface, enhancing both appearance and texture.
- Final chilling: Place the coated snowballs back into the refrigerator and chill for another 15 to 20 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy your sweet treat!
Notes
- For best results, use cold sweetened condensed milk and chill the mixture adequately to facilitate shaping.
- Substitute desiccated coconut with shredded coconut if preferred, but texture and appearance may vary.
- These snowballs keep well refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite nuts, dried fruits, or mini candies for added flavor and crunch.
- This recipe requires no baking or cooking, making it fast and simple to prepare.
