NO-BAKE Cream Cheese Coconut Snowballs

Ah, yum! No-bake Cream Cheese Coconut Snowballs are a delightful, easy-to-make treat—soft, sweet, and coconutty. Here’s a simple recipe for them:

---

Ingredients (makes ~12-15 snowballs)

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup (90 g) shredded sweetened coconut (plus extra for rolling)

• 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit

Instructions

1. Mix the filling

   • In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

   • Mix until smooth and fully combined. You can add nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit if desired.

2. Form the snowballs

   • Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into small balls (~1 inch / 2.5 cm in diameter).

3. Coat the snowballs

   • Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut until fully coated.

4. Chill

   • Place the snowballs on a tray lined with parchment paper.

   • Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to firm up.

5. Serve

   • Enjoy straight from the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

💡 Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can toast the coconut lightly before rolling.

• Add a few drops of almond extract instead of vanilla for a subtle twist.

• For chocolate lovers, dip half of each snowball in melted chocolate before chilling.
