Key Lime Coconut Snowballs

Use regular limes if the Key limes are not available. Unsweetened coconut is often labeled "desiccated" or "pulverized," and is often sold in health-food stores.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 2 balls)

Ingredients

• 2/3  cup  graham cracker crumbs (about 4 cookie sheets)
• 6  tablespoons  fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• 1  teaspoon  grated Key lime rind
• 1 1/2  tablespoons  fresh Key lime juice
• 1  teaspoon  vanilla extract
• 1  cup  shredded unsweetened coconut, divided
• 1 1/4  cups  powdered sugar

Preparation

Combine crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, rind, juice, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add 2/3 cup coconut, and beat with a mixer at medium speed for 1 minute or until no longer grainy. Add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating until well combined. Cover and chill 20 minutes.

Shape crumb mixture into 24 balls, about 1 teaspoon each. Place remaining 1/3 cup coconut in a shallow bowl; roll balls in coconut.

Note: Refrigerate balls in an airtight container for up to one day.
