Servings: 8 snowmen
Ingredients
Coconut Truffles
- 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
- ½ Tablespoon butter
- 4 Tablespoons finely shredded coconut
Decorations
- orange sprinkles for the nose
- White and black chocolate chips for the buttons
- Sour strips for the scarf
- Melted dark chocolate for the eyes and mouth
Instructions
Coconut Truffles
- Combine the 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, ½ Tablespoon butter and 4 Tablespoons finely shredded coconut in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until the mixture starts to bubble. Once it boils, keep stirring for about 5 more minutes until it thickens to a dough-like consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it’s firm enough to shape, about 30 minutes to an hour.
Make the Snowmen
- Once the mixture is ready, form small balls of three different sizes for each snowman (small, medium, large).
- Roll each ball in more shredded coconut to coat.
- Stack the three balls, starting with the largest at the bottom, securing them with a toothpick.
Decorations
- Melt white chocolate and use it to glue a sprinkle onto the middle ball as the snowman's nose and black chocolate chips as buttons.
- Cut a small piece of sour strip and wrap it around the "neck" of the snowman to form a scarf.
- For the eyes and mouth, use melted dark chocolate. Dip a toothpick into the chocolate and carefully draw them onto the smallest ball to complete the face.
Chill
- Refrigerate the snowmen for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the decorations to set.
Notes
If the mixture is too sticky to handle, add a bit more shredded coconut.
Keep the snowmen chilled until ready to serve to ensure they stay firm.
