Irish Potato Candy
Report
Irish Potatoes are a fun St. Patrick's Day candy – coconut cream truffles are rolled in cinnamon brown sugar to look like potatoes, but they taste sweet!

Ingredients
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 Tablespoons butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter and vanilla, until fluffy. Mix in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until smooth, then mix in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed. Chill the bowl of coconut candy mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Remove the coconut mixture from the fridge and use a tablespoon to portion it into oblong balls that resemble the shape of potatoes, but smaller.
- Roll each piece coconut candy in the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture, until the surface is fully coated on all sides. Place on a lined baking sheet and chill for 30 more minutes before serving.
