Key Lime Coconut Snowballs

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (I used low fat)
• 1 teaspoon grated Key lime rind
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh Key lime juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup shredded desiccated coconut, divided
• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Combine crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, rind, juice, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add 2/3 cup coconut, and beat with a mixer at medium speed for 1 minute or until no longer grainy. Add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating until well combined. Cover and chill 20 minutes. Even after chilling it was a little sticky.

Shape crumb mixture into 24 balls, about 1 teaspoon each. Place remaining 1/3 cup coconut in a shallow bowl; roll balls in coconut. Store in the refrigerator.
