Gather Your Ingredients
To make coconut Christmas balls, you'll need shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and holiday sprinkles. These simple ingredients can be found in most grocery stores, making it easy to whip up this recipe without a lot of hassle. You'll also need a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make the cleanup process a breeze.
Preparation
Before you get started, make sure to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that your coconut Christmas balls cook evenly and come out perfectly golden brown. Now, it's time to combine your shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a sticky dough.
Baking and Decorating
Rolling the Balls
Next, take small spoonfuls of the dough and roll them into small balls. You can make them as big or as small as you'd like, but keep in mind that they will expand slightly in the oven. Place the coconut Christmas balls on your baking tray, making sure to leave some space between each one to prevent them from sticking together as they bake.
Add Holiday Sprinkles
This is where the fun part comes in – decorate your coconut Christmas balls with holiday sprinkles of your choice. You can use traditional red and green sprinkles for a festive touch, or get creative with different colors and shapes. Once you've added the sprinkles, bake the coconut Christmas balls in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are a light golden brown.
Let Them Cool and Enjoy!
Once your coconut Christmas balls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will allow them to firm up and make them easier to handle. Once they have cooled, transfer them to a festive serving dish and enjoy! These coconut Christmas balls are not only delicious, but also make a great addition to any holiday dessert spread.
Final Thoughts
With this simple recipe, you can easily create coconut Christmas balls that are sure to be a hit with your loved ones.
