Snowballs image

What a delicious treat these snowballs are. Different than anything we've ever made. The Nilla Wafers become softened while in the fridge but they're not soggy. Sweet and tart pineapple filling pairs well with the flaky sweet coconut. These snowballs are a nice, light, festive, and fluffy treat that everyone will love. They're so...

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 c softened butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 c sugar
2 can(s) crushed pineapple, 20 oz each
1 c walnuts
2 box vanilla wafers
2 box Dream Whip
2 bag(s) coconut

Steps:

  • 1. Create the filling: Mix 1/4 cup of softened butter, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 cup of sugar, walnuts, and crushed pineapple (well-drained).
  • 2. Stack each snowball 4 wafers-high putting filling in between.
  • 3. Mix the frosting: Prepare 2 boxes of Dream Whip according to directions on the box and add in 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. You may need less frosting given that vanilla wafers are made so small these days (they were a lot bigger when I first made this recipe 55 yrs. ago!).
  • 4. Spread the frosting generously over each snowball. Roll them in coconut. Crown with a cherry on top. Refrigerate for 24 hrs. Then, they can be frozen.
