Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 350 g desiccated coconut (~4½ cups), plus extra for topping
- 1 tin (397 g / 14 oz) condensed milk
Coating
- 400 g (14 oz) white chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the tray: Line a large tray with baking paper to prevent the truffles from sticking.
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and condensed milk. Stir well until the mixture is fully combined and sticky.
- Shape the truffles: Take about 1 heaped tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into balls using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, slightly dampen your hands to make rolling easier.
- Freeze to firm up: Place the formed balls onto the lined tray and freeze them for 30 minutes; this helps them set firmly for the next step.
- Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the truffles: Dip each coconut ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated truffles back onto the lined tray. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle some extra desiccated coconut on top for decoration.
- Chill to set: Place the coated truffles in the fridge for 1 hour, until the white chocolate has fully hardened and the truffles are ready to enjoy.
