Steps:
- For the cake and filling: Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Prepare and bake the devil's food cake according to the package directions. Let cool completely.
- Combine the butter and marshmallow creme in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Add the confectioners' sugar and heavy cream and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag fitted with a long thin round tip.
- Flip the cake so it is flat-side up. Make 12 evenly-spaced holes in the bottom of the cake using a skewer, pressing only halfway down into the cake and wiggling the skewer slightly to widen the holes until they are each about 1 inch wide. Insert the piping tip in each of the holes and pipe in some marshmallow mixture until it starts to ooze out the top of the hole. Flip the cake flat-side down onto a cake stand or serving platter.
- For the topping: Combine the coconut and confectioners' sugar in a large resealable plastic bag, seal and shake well. Dissolve 5 to 6 drops of food coloring in 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Drizzle the food coloring over the coconut and toss well, massaging the bag with your hands to evenly distribute the color.
- Combine the gelatin with 6 tablespoons water in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until it reaches 235 to 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Pour the corn syrup mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, along with the vanilla and bloomed gelatin. Whip on high speed until thick and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
- Spread the marshmallow mixture all over the cake with a small offset spatula. Pat the coconut all over the cake. Let sit 30 minutes for the topping to set before serving.
NAN MAY'S SNOWBALLS
Growing up in Newfoundland, I looked forward to Christmas each year for the huge family get-togethers, and of course the food that went along with them. This recipe is one that my Grandmother made every year. Definitely one of my favourite Christmas cookies.

Steps:
- Prepare the Ultimate Cookie Dough and divide it into four equal parts. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 4 days.
- Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or use a clean, ungreased baking sheet.
- Remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator and knead lightly until it is pliable. Divide the dough into 12 parts (or, if you have a #70 or smaller ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into 12 balls). Roll the balls into perfect spheres and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until very lightly browned and firm. Remove from the oven. Place the powdered sugar into a wire sieve and dust the cookies heavily on all sides. Allow to cool.
Tips:
- Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients, as the mixture will be quite thick.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping it into balls. This will make it easier to work with and prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough. Just be sure to pack the dough into the spoon tightly so that the cookies are uniform in size.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. The centers of the cookies should be slightly soft, but not gooey. This will ensure that the cookies are chewy and not too dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
Conclusion:
Pink snowballs are a delicious and festive Christmas cookie that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. So get creative and have fun!
