by Kate W from Canada posted on Jimmy’s Blog

INGREDIENTS:

1-cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (good quality)
1/4 cup splenda granular
1/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
4 teaspoons shredded, unsweetened coconut

DIRECTIONS:

Place heavy cream, cocoa powder, splenda and coconut extract in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer set to highest setting beat cream until whipped firmly. Slowly fold in 1/4 cup of coconut. Place bowl in refrigerator and allow to set up for 10-minutes.

Then transfer into 4 shallow serving bowls using a large spoon, rounding each to look like a snowball or use an ice cream scooper. Once each bowl has its "snowball" in it, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of shredded, unsweetened coconut on top to make it look like a snowball. You can use more cocoa and Splenda if you prefer more intense chocolate flavor or sweeter end result.

Makes 4 servings
