Ingredients
- 4 Oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- ¼ Cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- 4 Cups powdered sugar
- 2 2/3 Cups sweetened flaked coconut (about 7 ounces)
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt together until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the powdered sugar to the mixture and beat at low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed and beat on medium for about 1-2 minutes, until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again and add the coconut. Beat on low until all the coconut is well mixed throughout.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and scoop tablespoons of the mixture onto the parchment until all of the mixture has been used up. Chill for about 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll the scoops between your hands until an oblong, potato shape is formed. Roll in the ground cinnamon until fully coated. Place the cinnamon-coated candies back on the parchment and place them back in the fridge to chill. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
