Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups sweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers (optional)
- Optional: pastel sprinkles or food coloring for decoration
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the shredded coconut and optional crushed cookies.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 15–20 minutes to firm it up.
- Once chilled, use a small scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut for coating.
- Add pastel sprinkles or a touch of food coloring if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Full-fat cream cheese yields the best consistency.
- If mixture is sticky, chill longer or dust hands with powdered sugar.
- These freeze well before rolling in coconut—coat after thawing for best texture.
- Use unsweetened coconut for a less sweet variation.
