Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Prepare the Coconut Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
2. Shape the Truffles
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
3. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
4. Coat the Truffles
Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each coconut ball in melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Place back on the parchment paper.
5. Garnish and Chill
Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle shredded coconut on top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Once firm, enjoy your homemade coconut chocolate truffles! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips for the Perfect Truffles
- For a crunchier texture, add crushed nuts to the filling.
- Use white or milk chocolate for a different flavor variation.
