Ingredients
- 200 g Desiccated coconut
- 200 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 300 g Dark chocolate
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a sticky dough.
Step 2
Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll them into smooth balls. Place the balls on a lined baking tray or plate.
Step 3
Once all the balls are shaped, chill them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
While the truffles are chilling, melt the dark chocolate. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until smooth. Alternatively, microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted.
Step 5
If the melted chocolate seems too thick for coating, stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it out.
Step 6
Remove the chilled coconut balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back on the lined tray.
Step 7
Allow the chocolate-coated truffles to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 8
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the truffles to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy your homemade Divine Chocolate Coated Coconut Truffles!
