  2. Add ⅔ cup shredded coconut and beat at medium speed for 1 minute, or until the mixture is no longer grainy.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar (¼ cup), beating until well combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  5. Shape the chilled mixture into 24 small balls, about 1 teaspoon each.
  6. Place the remaining ⅓ cup shredded coconut in a shallow dish.
  7. Roll each ball in the coconut until completely coated.
  8. Refrigerate the coconut snowballs in an airtight container for at least 1 hour, or up to one day, to allow flavors to meld.
