Ingredients
3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
3 drops pink food coloring
3 drops yellow food coloring
3 drops blue food coloring
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut for rolling
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
2. Fold in the shredded coconut until a thick, sticky mixture forms.
3. Divide the mixture evenly into three or four small bowls.
4. Tint each bowl with a small amount of pastel food coloring and mix until the color is evenly blended.
5. Chill the colored coconut mixture for 20 to 30 minutes so it is easier to shape.
6. Scoop small portions and form them into rounded tails with a slightly pointed top.
7. Roll each piece in the extra shredded coconut until fully coated.
8. Place the bunny tails on a parchment-lined tray and chill for another 20 to 30 minutes.
9. Serve chilled or slightly cool.
Notes
Use gel food coloring if you want pastel shades without adding extra liquid.
Chill the mixture before shaping so the tails hold together more easily.
Store the finished bunny tails in the refrigerator to keep their fluffy coating fresh.
