Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed pineapple, drained The sweeter, the better
- 1 cup shredded coconut Unsweetened adds a nice texture
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs For that crispy, buttery crunch
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans Adding a lovely nuttiness
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar To balance the tang of the pineapple
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A little extra vanilla if you love a cozy aroma
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined. The ingredients should start to stick together, creating a glossy mixture.
- Use your hands to form small balls from the mixture, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, leaving space between each to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve cold and enjoy your sweet, tangy Pineapple Balls.
Notes
Store leftover Pineapple Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. They taste even better the next day. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
