Instructions
- Add softened cream cheese and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl. If you're using the coconut extract, add that too.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until it's incorporated nicely. I like to use a rubber spatula and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to make sure everything is combined well.
- Separate the mixture into two sections in your bowl. One should be 1/3 of the mixture (the snowman head), and the other should be 2/3 of the mixture (the snowman body).
- With a rubber spatula or large spoon, form each section into a roundish shape. It doesn't have to be perfect, it will be easier to shape after it's cold. Put a lid on the mixing bowl or wrap with foil and refrigerate it for about an hour.
- I don't buy plastic wrap, so I do this with my hands. Pick up the first section and roll it into a ball (it will be sticky), then toss in the shredded coconut. Place the first ball on your serving platter. Repeat steps for second section, attaching the body to the head.
- Gently smoosh the cheese balls down to make the snowman flatter. Add chocolate chips for eyes, smile, and buttons. Add an almond for the nose. Take your candy rope or licorice and tuck it behind his neck to secure it in place. Serve with your favorite dippers! Enjoy!

Notes
- I've made this with and without coconut extract. Without, it doesn't have a strong coconut flavor, but it's delicious! The coconut extract really amps up the coconut flavor, but it's not a "toasted coconut" flavor, it's more like a pina colada. This ingredient is optional because it's great with or without depending on how much coconut flavor you want.
- For the best texture, I recommend full-fat cream cheese.
- If you can't find candy rope, licorice or gummy tape and be cut and manipulated into a scarf.
