Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, drained crushed pineapple, powdered sugar, and 2 cups of shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
- Shape the balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Coat with coconut: Roll each ball in the extra shredded coconut so they are evenly coated, creating a snowball effect.
- Chill: Place the coated balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and firm up before serving.
Notes
- Add chopped pecans to the mixture before rolling for a crunchy texture.
- Use either sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut depending on your sweetness preference.
