Description

Sweet and creamy pineapple coconut balls rolled in shredded coconut — a festive and tropical no-bake treat perfect for the holiday season.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Shape the balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Coat with coconut: Roll each ball in the extra shredded coconut so they are evenly coated, creating a snowball effect.
  4. 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.
