Tips:
- Use unsweetened coconut to control the sweetness of the snowballs and prevent them from becoming overly sugary.
- Finely chop the pecans to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- To achieve a smooth and creamy texture, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing.
- Chill the coconut snowball mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling them into balls. This will help them hold their shape better.
- For a neater appearance, use a small cookie scoop to portion the coconut mixture and roll it into balls.
- If the coconut mixture is too sticky to handle, add more powdered sugar until it reaches a manageable consistency.
- Store the coconut snowballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
