In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of sweetened shredded coconut, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the mixture is sticky and holds its shape, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk to achieve the right consistency.

If you'd like to add a fun twist, divide the mixture into smaller bowls. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl, incorporating pastel shades.

Scoop out portions and roll them into 1-inch tail shapes, then roll each tail in extra shredded coconut.

Line a tray with parchment paper and place the formed tails on it. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Once chilled, serve or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
