How to Make Almond Coconut Christmas Balls

  1. Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the toasted almonds, shredded coconut, and powdered sugar.
  3. Add the milk (or cream) and vanilla extract. Mix well until a dough forms.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  5. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. If using, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coconut balls.
  7. Refrigerate the Christmas balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  8. Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
