Instructions
Candy
- In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium until creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the vanilla and slowly add in the powdered sugar a little at a time. Beat until combined.
- Add the coconut and use a spatula to work the coconut into the cream cheese mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the candy mixture and roll it into an oval to resemble a potato. Give it some creases or misshape it to look more realistic.
- Place on the baking sheet and continue making the potato candy until the mixture is gone.
Coating
- In a medium bowl, add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
- Roll each potato candy in the brown sugar mixture until coated.
- Place onto a serving tray and repeat the steps until all balls have been coated.
- Serve immediately. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For a well coated Irish Potato Candy with more cinnamon flavor, you can up the cinnamon to 1 1/2 tablespoons. Whisk well into the brown sugar and thoroughly coat the outside of the candy.
