Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 stick of butter softened
  • 1/2 brick of cream cheese softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups sweetened coconut
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Beat together butter and cream cheese.
  • Slowly add the confectioners sugar.
  • Add the vanilla.
  • Add the coconut and mix until combined.
  • You may want to chill the coconut mixture a little before you roll them. I like to use a small ice cream scoop. These are really rich, so you want them to be small.
  • Roll the coconut mixture into a ball.
  • Roll the coconut mixture into the cinnamon and put on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Keep the Irish Potatoes in the fridge.
