How to Make Christmas Strawberries

  1. In a medium bowl, bloom 1 packet (1/4 ounce) of unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water for 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and whisk until smooth and completely dissolved.
  3. Stir in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
  5. Roll the chilled mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Shape each ball into a strawberry, tapering one end to a point.
  6. Roll the shaped strawberries in red sugar crystals.
  7. Dip the pointed end of each strawberry into green sugar crystals.
  8. Press a slivered almond into the green-dipped end to create a stem.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. To prevent them from drying out, you may want to place a slice of bread or a damp paper towel in the container.
