Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream (or heavy cream), powdered sugar, cream cheese (optional), and vanilla extract. Beat them together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
2. Form the Balls:
   • Take a small amount of the creamy mixture and form it into a small ball with your hands.
   • Create a small indentation in the middle of each ball and fill it with a small spoonful of your preferred fruit jam.
   • Gently seal the ball so the jam is tucked inside.
3. Coat the Balls:
   • Roll each filled ball in the shredded coconut, ensuring it’s fully covered. For a twist, you can also roll it in crushed nuts or cookie crumbs for added texture.
4. Chill and Serve:
   • Place the balls on a tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
5. Enjoy:
   • Once chilled, serve the creamy jam balls as a sweet snack or dessert for a special occasion!
