Ingredients

The following ingredients have 48 Servings
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar (or Swerve brand for a sugar-free version (can use up to 4 cups for a harder potato candy).)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3.5 ounces unsweetened shredded coconut
  • dash of salt (to protect if from being too sweet)
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instruction

  • Prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer combine the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and coconut until combined. Using a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out a ball size and roll into marble-size balls or oval shape to resemble a potato and place on parchment paper lined baking pan. If it is too sticky to roll, put it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to harden before rolling them into shapes. Place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to harden.
  • Add the cinnamon to a resealable zip bag. Add about 6 Irish potato candies to the bag, close and shake the bag to coat each ball. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
