Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowballs

Instructions

  1. Mix: In a large bowl, combine coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Stir until well mixed and sticky, but holding its shape.
  2. Shape: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Lightly coat your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet (makes about 20-24).
  3. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Coat: Roll each chilled snowball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips & Notes

  • Sticky Mixture? Lightly wet your hands or use more powdered sugar to help with rolling.
  • Chill Time is Key! Chilling ensures the snowballs hold their shape.
  • Storage: Refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage (freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a container).
  • Less Sweet? Use unsweetened coconut, but the condensed milk will be more prominent.

Variations

  • Chocolate-Dipped: Dip half in melted chocolate for a decadent treat!
  • Nutty: Add 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts) for extra crunch.
  • Lemon: Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice for a zesty twist.
  • Festive: Roll in holiday sprinkles for a fun touch!
