Ingredients
– 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/8 teaspoon salt
– 1 pound powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
– 7 ounces flaked, sweetened coconut (about 2 2/3 cups)
– 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
1-Beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and salt together until the mixture is fluffy and smooth, which takes about 3 minutes.
2-Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating it in until everything blends smoothly into a thick dough.
3-Mix in the flaked, sweetened coconut on low speed until it’s fully combined with the other ingredients.
4-Scoop the mixture by level tablespoons onto a lined baking sheet to create even portions.
5-Refrigerate the scoops for 30 minutes to help them firm up and make shaping easier.
6-Roll each piece into an oblong shape that looks like a small potato, then coat it completely in ground cinnamon for that signature finish.
