This truffle is a sweet combination of coconut, red and green candied cherries, and sweetened condensed milk. Cherry Snowball Truffles are just slightly soft and gooey. These are not only extremely festive, but super easy to make and freezer-friendly too!

Ingredients

6 cups unsweetened coconut, medium
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped candied cherries

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add 5 cups of the coconut and stir well until well combined.
Next, add in the chopped candied cherries and stir into the coconut and condensed milk mixture.
Chill for 15 minutes. In the meantime, add the remaining cup of coconut to a bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Once the mixture is chilled, scoop out one tablespoon and roll into balls. Roll the balls into the extra coconut and place on the baking sheet. Once all rolled, place the baking sheet to firm up.
Once firm, transfer to a food-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. Keep refrigerated.
