Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowballs

Instructions

1. Mix it Up: In a large bowl, combine coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed and the mixture is sticky but holds its shape.
2. Roll into Snowballs: Lightly coat your hands with powdered sugar (to prevent sticking). Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. You should get about 20-24 snowballs.
3. Chill Out: Place the snowballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
4. Sugar Coating: Once chilled, roll each snowball in powdered sugar until completely coated.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. They’re best served chilled!

Tips & Tricks

• Too Sticky? Lightly wet your hands or use more powdered sugar to make rolling easier.
• Chill Time is Key: Chilling helps them hold their shape and reduces stickiness.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage (freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a container).
• Unsweetened Coconut? Use unsweetened coconut for a less sweet snowball; you might want to add a bit more condensed milk.

Variations

• Chocolate-Dipped Delight: Dip half of each snowball in melted chocolate for an extra decadent treat!
• Nutty Goodness: Add 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts) for extra texture and flavor.
• Zesty Lemon: Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice for a refreshing twist.
• Festive Fun: Roll in holiday sprinkles for a beautiful, festive touch!
