Servings: Makes 2 dozen Snowballs
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sultanas
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 cup milk (adjust as needed)
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- Desiccated coconut, for rolling
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk, wine biscuits, and sultanas until well mixed. The mixture should have a uniform consistency, ensuring every bite is filled with deliciousness.
-
Gradually add the cocoa powder to the mixture, stirring continuously to incorporate it evenly. This step adds a rich chocolatey flavor that complements the sweetness of the sultanas perfectly.
-
Add the vanilla essence to the mixture, continuing to mix thoroughly. If the mixture appears too dry, gradually add a little milk until you achieve the desired consistency. The vanilla essence enhances the aromatic profile of the Snowballs, elevating their taste to new heights.
-
Once the mixture is well combined and has reached a moldable texture, it’s time to shape it into balls. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth, round Snowballs.
-
After shaping the Snowballs, roll each one in desiccated coconut until fully coated. This adds a delightful crunch and a hint of tropical flavor, enhancing the overall texture and presentation of the Snowballs.
-
Place the coated Snowballs on a tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart. Allow them to set at room temperature for a few hours or until firm to the touch. Avoid cooking them; instead, let their flavors meld together naturally for a truly irresistible treat.
Recipe Notes:
- For a festive twist, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruits to the mixture for added texture and flavor.
- These Snowballs make for wonderful homemade gifts during the holiday season. Package them in decorative boxes or jars tied with festive ribbons for a thoughtful touch.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, although they are likely to disappear much quicker due to their irresistible taste.
Indulge in the simple pleasures of homemade goodness with these delectable Snowballs. Whether enjoyed as a snack or shared with loved ones, they are sure to bring joy to every occasion. Embrace the magic of the holiday season or treat yourself to a moment of pure bliss with these heavenly delights.
