- 1 can full-fat Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 cup finely shredded unsweetened Coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Powdered Sugar (for coating)
- Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all your ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper for chilling your snowballs. Have a shallow bowl or plate ready with your powdered sugar for coating.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in your full can of sweetened condensed milk. Add the vanilla extract and any other liquid flavorings you might be using. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in the Coconut: Gradually add your shredded coconut to the condensed milk mixture in two or three batches, mixing thoroughly after each addition until you have a thick, cohesive mixture.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 2 hours to firm up the mixture.
- Roll into Snowballs: Remove the mixture from the fridge and use slightly damp hands or hands coated in powdered sugar to scoop out portions and roll them into smooth balls.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Immediately after rolling each snowball, drop it into the bowl of powdered sugar and roll until completely coated.
- Arrange and Chill Again: Place the coated snowballs onto your prepared baking sheet and return to the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes to set.
