🧾 Ingredients
For the truffle base:
- 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
- 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the coating:
- 200g dark or milk chocolate (melted)
Optional extras:
- Extra shredded coconut (for coating)
- Cocoa powder
- Chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the mixture
In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is fully combined into a thick, sticky mixture.
Step 2: Chill
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes. This makes it easier to shape.
Step 3: Shape the truffles
Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon) and roll them into balls using your hands. Place them on a lined tray.
Step 4: Melt the chocolate
Melt the chocolate using:
- Microwave (in 20–30 second intervals, stirring each time), or
- Double boiler method
Step 5: Coat the truffles
Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift and let excess chocolate drip off.
Step 6: Set
Place coated truffles back on the tray and refrigerate until the chocolate is firm (about 20 minutes).
🛠️ Methods & Tips
- Texture tip: If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more coconut.
- Smooth coating: Let excess chocolate drip off to avoid thick layers.
- Flavor twist: Add a pinch of salt or a few drops of almond extract for variation.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
