Description

A delightful, no-bake treat perfect for the holiday season! These Pineapple Christmas Balls are sweet, chewy, and coated in coconut, making them a festive addition to any dessert table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Additional shredded coconut (for rolling)

Instructions

  • Mix the pineapple base: In a large bowl, combine the well-drained crushed pineapple, graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed and forms a sticky dough-like consistency.
  • Shape the balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  • Roll in coconut: Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut, ensuring each one is fully coated.
  • Chill: Place the pineapple balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Serve: Once firm, transfer the Pineapple Christmas Balls to a serving dish and enjoy!

Notes

  • For an added touch of texture, try mixing in chopped pecans or walnuts to the pineapple mixture before rolling the balls.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, freeze the pineapple balls for 15 minutes before serving for a delightful bite.
