Recipe Introduction

"Snowballs are so fun and festive during the holiday season. These make adorable teachers' gifts or sweet treats for the mailman or your favorite neighbor. Package them in clear plastic boxes and tie them with a festive ribbon."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 ½ (4-ounce) packages white chocolate baking bars, melted according to package directions
â—¦ 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
â—¦ ¾ cup crushed coconut cookies (such as Pepperidge Farm)
â—¦ 1 tablespoon coconut rum (or use water)
â—¦ â…› teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ 1 ½ cups shredded coconut


Recipe

Beat the chocolate and cream cheese with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add the crushed cookies, coconut rum, and salt, beating just until blended. Spread in a parchment paper-lined 9-inch pie plate; cover and chill 2 hours.

Shape into 1-inch balls (about 2 teaspoons per ball), and place in a single layer in a parchment paper-lined jellyroll pan. Cover and chill 12 to 24 hours.

Roll the balls in coconut; chill one hour before serving.
Refrigerate in a single layer in a container up to one week.
