  • 1.5 cups finely chopped/crushed pecans or almonds Feel free to substitute other nuts
  • 1 pound sweetened coconut
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar Adjust to taste

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the Sweetened Condensed Milk, sweetened coconut, crushed nuts (if using), and powdered sugar. Stir well until everything is well mixed.
  2. Transfer the mixture to the freezer and let it chill for about 10 minutes.
