Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

Stir until well combined and the mixture holds together. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Once chilled, scoop out small portions and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands.

Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut to coat. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Make sure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid soggy balls.
You can use toasted coconut for a deeper flavor, or add a splash of rum extract for a festive twist.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
