Coconut Snowballs
Looking for an easy, creative and fun way to have ice cream already scooped for a party? Looking for an easy kitchen activity to make with your kids? This is super easy and saves you time when you are ready to serve the ice cream. And you can even offer “on the side” options at serving time to make these even tastier. Try a de-constructed Almond Joy by offering chocolate sauce and chopped almonds as toppings.
Recipe adapted from Real Simple. Makes 15-20 snowballs.
Ingredients
- ½ gallon French Vanilla or Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (homemade recommended)
- 1 14 oz package shredded sweetened coconut
Preparation
Place the coconut on a plate. Using a 1 ½ inch ice cream scoop, scoop the ice cream into balls and then roll the balls in the coconut. Place the balls in foil or mini muffin liners and set on a tray. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until ready to serve. Serve along with chocolate and caramel sauce as optional toppings for your guests.

Cute, yummy & easy. My kind of dessert!
I ate at least 3 of these in one sitting….real good
Cute idea!! Do these melt quickly?
I usually take them out of the freezer just before serving them, they don’t melt too quickly, no more than ice cream usually does. But when you drizzle hot chocolate sauce on them, hmmm they do melt but it tastes so good!
