Description
These Coconut Snowball Cheesecake Bites are a no-bake dream treat—perfectly creamy with a coconut crunch. They’re made with cream cheese, graham cracker crumbs, and a hint of almond and vanilla, then rolled in shredded coconut for that signature snowball look. Great for parties, holiday platters, or when you need a chilled dessert in a hurry.
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 1/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Beat until fully incorporated.
3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture holds its shape.
4. Scoop mixture into small portions using a cookie scoop. Roll each into a ball.
5. Roll each ball in shredded coconut, pressing gently to coat evenly.
6. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
Notes
Let the bites chill at least 1 hour, but overnight is even better for a firmer texture.
Toast the coconut for added color and deeper flavor.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized balls and mess-free portioning.
