Instructions
Instructions
First, in a big bowl, you combine that sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and powdered sugar. Stir it up till everything looks silky and well blended.
Next, toss in 4 cups of the coconut flakes and stir till you get an even coating and the mixture starts to feel like dough.
Then grab a handful of this mix and use your hands to shape little bunny tail shapes. Don’t be shy here, they don’t gotta be perfect—just cute!
Place each shaped tail on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper to keep ’em from sticking.
In a small bowl, mix some of the leftover coconut flakes with a few drops of your favorite food coloring until you get a nice Eastery shade.
Roll each bunny tail in the colored coconut flakes so the outside looks all fluffy and festive. Then toss ’em in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to get set before you chow down.
Notes
Once out of the fridge, you will enjoy these soft and creamy coconut tails with a festive look and a light crunch on the outside.
