This recipe is found in the cookbook, What’s Cooking in Harlingen, Texas Benevolent, Patriotic Order of Does, Drove #90, Harlingen, Texas. Second Edition, Nov. 1977, page .

This recipe for Coconut Snow was found on the web: 40 grams tapioca maltodextrin, 60 grams coconut oil, and 15 grams confectioner's sugar. Also found this: 1 envelope, 2.5 ounce NOH Brand Coconut Milk dry flavor base (found in many Asian food stores and online, 1 teaspoon dry meringue powder (found in large grocery stores and also at Michael's and Joann's in the cake decorating section). Finally, I found this... Right off the label of the can of Coconut Snow: Sugar, Whey, Coconut, Nonfat Milk, Egg Whites, Natural and Artifical Flavors, salt. Apparently, the company that made Coconut Snow is no longer in business. Coconut Snow was popular in various mixed drinks like Pina Coladas and Chi Chis.
