PINEAPPLE COCONUT SNOWBALLS

– Thank you! I was looking for a low sugar dessert to add to Thanksgiving dinner that I could eat. I used the hints about the squeezing the pineapple, and “flopping” the mixture into the coconut. Both those made it easier. I added 1/2 pkg sugar free instant vanilla pudding MIX (no liquid) for extra sweet and flavor, and I love it! These will be a welcome addition to my desserts!

– Very nice…I liked how the flavors subtly blended with each other, and not too sweet either..I used the tip of draning the pineapple through mesh strainer and then squeezing by hand…the snowballs turned out quite firm. Thanks for posting!

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, well drained
2 1/2 cups flaked coconut

Directions
When draining the pineapple, use a fine strainer to push as much juice out as possible. A reviewer has stated this makes the mixture a bit more firm and easier to work with.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and pineapple.
Mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls.
Roll in coconut.
Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
