✅ Ingredients
2 ½ cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened works)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
200 g chocolate (dark or milk, for coating)
📖 Instructions
Mix filling: In a bowl, combine shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until mixture is sticky and holds together.
Shape truffles: Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 tbsp each). Place them on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20–30 minutes until firm.
Melt chocolate: Break chocolate into pieces and melt in a microwave (20-second bursts, stirring each time) or over a double boiler until smooth.
Dip & coat: Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled coconut ball into melted chocolate, coating completely. Place back on parchment to set.
Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until chocolate hardens. Serve and enjoy!
🔑 Notes
Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or milk chocolate for a sweeter bite.
For extra texture, sprinkle with shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or sea salt before chocolate sets.
Keeps best when chilled.
🌟 Variations
Almond Joy Style: Add a whole almond in the center before rolling.
Festive Flair: Use white chocolate and drizzle with colored sprinkles for holidays.
Keto Version: Swap condensed milk for unsweetened coconut cream + powdered sweetener, and use sugar-free chocolate.
❄️ Storage
Fridge: Store in airtight container up to 1 week.
