Easter-Bunny-Coconut-Tails
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups shredded sweetened coconut (plus extra for rolling)
Gel food coloring (pastel pink, yellow, blue, green, and purple)
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the shredded coconut, stirring until well coated and the mixture holds together. Step 2: Color & Shape the Coconut Tails
Divide the coconut mixture into 4-5 equal portions (depending on how many colors you want).
- Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each portion, mixing well until the color is evenly distributed. (Tip: Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands!)
- Using your hands, roll small portions into 1-inch balls to form the bunny tails.
Step 3: Coat & Chill
- Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to fully coat and give them a fluffy bunny tail look. Place the coconut tails on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Arrange the colorful coconut tails on a festive Easter platter.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature for a sweet and chewy treat!
