Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine condensed milk, shredded coconut, and crushed vanilla wafers (or graham crackers). Stir until everything is well coated and sticky.
Tip: If the mixture feels too wet, add more crushed wafers. Too dry? A splash of condensed milk will fix it.

2. Chill for Easier Rolling

Place the mixture in the fridge for 15–20 minutes. This helps it firm up so rolling is easier and less messy.

3. Shape the Snowballs

Scoop small portions and roll them into smooth balls using your palms. Kids especially love helping with this step!

4. Roll in Coconut

Pour extra shredded coconut onto a plate. Roll each ball until fully coated so they look like fluffy snowballs.

5. Set & Serve

Arrange on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Pop them back in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving so they firm up nicely.

Storage & Serving Tips

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
  
• Serving Ideas: Serve them on holiday platters, add to cookie boxes, or pair with hot chocolate or coffee.

FAQs

Can I make these vegan?
Yes! Use coconut condensed milk and vegan cookies.

Do they hold up at room temperature?
For a couple of hours, yes. But best kept chilled so they don’t get sticky.

Yes, but you may want to add extra sugar or honey for sweetness.

How small should I roll them?
About 1 inch in diameter works best — bite-sized and easy to handle.

Can I flavor them differently?
