icing tool
measuring cups
small mixing bowl
mixer
large ziplock bag
baking sheet
8 oz cream cheese
2 lbs powdered sugar
1 stick of melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 bag of coconut
Ground Cinnamon
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, coconut and vanilla.
*Tips*
*Hand mix until starts to firm (or sugar will fly everywhere)
*Can mix all ingredients EXCEPT coconut together and fold in coconut at end. Our family is fussy so 1/2 batch made with coconut and 1/2 made without - because of this only used 1/4 bag of coconut.
Let cool in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Roll in teaspoon-size football shapes. Then place handfuls in a baggie filled with ground cinnamon and shake to coat well. Refrigerate when completed.
Yummm I'm going to make these!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved making these. My girlfriend and I had to make almost 6 dozen around St. Patrick's day for her work and just to warn everyone, it can get real messy real quick when you're making that many. lol
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Irish potatoes. Every time I get my hands on one, I remember first making them in second grade.
