Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers, sweetened shredded coconut, chopped dried pineapple, and salt until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all components are fully incorporated, forming a sticky dough.
Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl and place the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up and make rolling easier.
Form Bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll each into bite-sized balls with your hands.
Coat Bites: Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to evenly coat the surface for texture and flavor.
Refrigerate: Place the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

For a brighter tropical flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lime zest to the mixture before chilling.
Store the coconut pineapple bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
These bites can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
