Scale
Base Mixture
- 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (for rolling)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky dough.
- Form Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls, ensuring they are compact and hold together well.
- Coat Snowballs: Roll each ball thoroughly in the sweetened shredded coconut until fully coated, giving them a snowy appearance.
- Chill: Arrange the coated snowballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the mixture is sticky enough to hold its shape when forming balls.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuit crumbs if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the base mixture for extra flavor.
