Description
Easy and delightful no-bake coconut cream truffles perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk or cream cheese (for binding)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for extra sweetness)
- Optional: melted chocolate for dipping
- Optional: chopped nuts or seeds for coating or filling
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, your binding agent (condensed milk or cream cheese), and vanilla extract. Mix until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more binder; if it’s too wet, incorporate more coconut.
- Shape the balls: Scoop a spoonful of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form 1-inch balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined tray.
- Coat and customize: Roll each ball in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts. For a chocolate version, dip the balls in melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper to set.
- Chill: Refrigerate the balls for 30–60 minutes, or until firm. For a quicker setting process, you can place them in the freezer for 15–20 minutes.
- Serve or store: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Customize your truffles with various fillings such as nut butter or dried fruits. Roll in toppings while still warm for better adhesion.
