Coconut-Free Irish Potatoes Candy image

I was frantically searching for a non-coconut recipe for Irish Potatoes for St. Patrick's day. I recently became allergic to coconut, so I made this recipe up after not being able to find an alternative online or in any cookbooks I have at home. I think the almonds are a nice twist and help maintain the consistency of the ball instead of just omitting coconut from other recipes I've seen. This is a good no-bake recipe. It is simple to make and easy to eat.

Time 50m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups whole almonds
½ cup ground cinnamon, or more to taste
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place almonds in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely ground. Pour cinnamon into a rimmed plate.
  • Mix cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until evenly blended. Place the bowl into a large pan filled with ice to help mixture stiffen; make sure butter mixture does not spill out of the bowl.
  • Sift confectioners' sugar into the butter mixture. Add ground almonds and stir until combined. Let mixture rest on ice for 5 minutes.
  • Roll mixture into 1/2-inch balls and roll in cinnamon until coated. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.

These were okay, but I've had better. I think the glaze was a little too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these didn't turn out very well. They were too dry and the flavor was off.

These were a little bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would add some extra spices next time.
