Ingredients
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (plus more for rolling)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Food coloring of choice
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.
2. Fold in the shredded coconut and stir until the mixture holds together. Add more coconut if needed to reach a moldable consistency.
3. Divide the mixture into separate bowls and tint each batch with a different pastel food coloring.
4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
5. Coat each ball in extra shredded coconut for a fuzzy bunny tail look.
6. Place the coconut tails on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For vibrant colors, use gel food coloring—it won’t dilute the texture.
If the mixture is too sticky, chill it for 10 minutes before rolling.
These can be frozen for up to 2 months and taste even better when served cold.
