Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 20 truffles

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Extra shredded coconut cocoa powder, or melted chocolate for coating (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until fully combined.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  • Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract (if using) to the coconut mixture and stir until everything is evenly blended.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
  • Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls.
  • Roll the truffles in your desired coating: shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or dip them in melted chocolate for a glossy finish.
  • Place the finished truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill again for 10 minutes to set.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized truffles.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, lightly coat your hands with water or chill a bit longer.
  • Let truffles sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture.
  • Dip truffles in melted chocolate using a fork for a clean, smooth finish.
