Festive coconut treats rolled in powdered sugar, perfect for Easter. Ready in 20 minutes with no baking required.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base Mixture

01 - 2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
02 - 1 cup powdered sugar
03 - ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
05 - Pinch of salt

06 - ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - ½ cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine sweetened shredded coconut, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until a sticky, uniform mixture forms.
02 - Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
03 - Place the unsweetened shredded coconut (and additional powdered sugar, if using) in a shallow dish. Roll each coconut ball in the coating until evenly covered.
04 - Arrange the coconut tails on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • You can make the entire batch in under 20 minutes with zero baking
  • Perfect for getting little helpers involved in the kitchen without worrying about hot surfaces
  • That condensed milk creates the most incredible fudge like texture
02 -
  • If your mixture feels too sticky to roll, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes first
  • Room temperature coconut mixture will stick to your hands more than chilled mixture
  • The coating step works best when the coconut balls are slightly firm
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes that look professional and cook evenly
  • Lightly dampen your hands with water if the mixture is sticking too much
  • Toast the coating coconut lightly for a nutty flavor variation
