Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
- 20–25 vanilla wafers, crushed into fine crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess moisture. Crush the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and the crushed vanilla wafers. Mix well until all components are evenly incorporated, forming a sticky mixture.
- Form the balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, take portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill to firm: Place the rolled balls on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 1 hour or until they are firm and set.
- Serve: Once chilled and firm, the Pineapple Coconut No-Bake Balls are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Ensure pineapple is well drained to avoid soggy mixture.
- You can substitute vanilla wafers with graham cracker crumbs for a different flavor.
- For a vegan version, ensure the vanilla wafers used are vegan-friendly or replace with vegan cookies.
- Store the balls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
