Title: Easy Coconut Snowball
Ingredients:
– 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
– 1/2 cup condensed milk
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup melted chocolate (milk or dark, your preference)
– 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and the mixture holds together when pressed.
2. Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, making approximately 10-12 coconut balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the coconut balls to firm up.
4. In the meantime, melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
5. Remove the coconut balls from the freezer. One by one, drop each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Use a fork to lift the coated ball out of the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
6. Place the chocolate-coated coconut ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle the tops with chopped nuts while the chocolate is still wet.
7. Once all the coconut balls are coated and topped with nuts, return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
8. Once the chocolate has hardened, the Easy Coconut Snowballs are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a decorative platter for a stunning presentation, and watch as they quickly disappear.
