Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 350 g desiccated coconut (~4½ cups), plus extra for topping
- 1 tin condensed milk (397 g or 14 oz)
Coating
- 400 g white chocolate (14 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare tray: Line a large tray with baking paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the desiccated coconut with the condensed milk. Mix thoroughly until fully combined into a sticky mixture.
- Shape truffles: Take about 1 heaped tablespoon of the coconut mixture at a time, rolling it between your palms to form smooth balls. If the mixture sticks too much, dampen your hands slightly to help with shaping.
- Freeze balls: Arrange the rolled balls on the prepared tray and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt coating: Gently melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Coat truffles: Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted white chocolate to fully coat. Return the coated truffles to the lined tray and sprinkle additional desiccated coconut on top for extra decoration.
- Chill to set: Place the tray of coated truffles into the refrigerator for 1 hour, allowing the white chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, use slightly damp hands or chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- White chocolate can be tempered if desired for a shinier, crisper shell but is not necessary.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for best freshness.
- For a variation, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to the coconut mixture for additional flavor.
