WHAT ARE NO BAKE SNOWBALLS?
From the word itself, this type of dessert does not require any type of baking. Usually composed of a variety of ingredients shaped into balls. They are little, round sweets. The term “snowballs” is frequently derived from the way they look, as they are typically coated in icing sugar, cocoa powder or coconut flakes, which gives them a white, snowy effect.
In most cases, you would combine all the ingredients, mold them into small balls, then cover them with your favorite coating. They have to be cooled in the fridge until firm after shaping them. There are lots of ways to make no bake balls. Some use cookie dough too.
DO LIME AND COCONUT GO TOGETHER?
Yes, lime and coconut make an excellent combination for snowballs. A refreshing taste and tropical flavor character is achieved by the zest of the lime contrasting with the sweetness and creaminess of the coconut. To suit your taste, you can change how much lime and coconut you add. You will be surprised how good it will taste. You are going to want more and more of this, I am sure of that!
