Absolutely! Coconut Cream Balls are a delightful and festive treat that many people enjoy during the holidays. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Coconut Cream Balls:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
- Shape into Balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the coconut balls chill for at least 1-2 hours. Chilling helps the balls firm up.
