Ingredients
- 3 cups finely shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt (optional)
Optional substitutions:
- Use unsweetened coconut if you prefer less sweetness.

Instructions
Step1: Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until a sticky, dough-like consistency forms.
Step2: Chill the Dough
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes. This helps firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape.
Step3: Shape the Snowballs
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls.
Step4: Coat the Snowballs
Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to give them a snowy appearance.
Step5: Chill and Serve
Place the snowballs on a plate or tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until they are fully set. Serve cold for the best taste and texture.
