Author:
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 3 dozen
Ingredients
  • 5 cups coconut flakes
  • 4 cups powdered sugar + a small amount for rolling coconut mixture balls
  • 1-14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1-11.5 oz bag milk chocolate chips
  • 1.5 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour coconut flakes, powdered sugar, and condensed milk, and stir until thoroughly mixed. The mixture will be firm, but very sticky.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Roll coconut mixture in 1" balls. If your mixture is very sticky, it helps to use a little powdered sugar on your hands when rolling.
  4. Place balls on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  5. Place 1 almond on top of each, or omit if you'd like.
  6. Place balls in freezer for 30 minutes.
  7. Melt the milk chocolate chips on the stove top.
  8. Remove the coconut balls from the freezer, and one by one, place them on a fork and dip them in the chocolate, covering them thoroughly. You may need to spoon the chocolate over the top of the balls depending on how deep your pan is. Shake off excess and place back on the parchment paper.
  9. Once you've completed the above step for all, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes for the chocolate to set, then remove.
  10. Melt the white chocolate chips on the stove top and pour into a zipper bag and close.
  11. Snip a very small hole in one corner and pipe the white chocolate over the truffles.
  12. Place back in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to completely set.
  13. Serve chilled.
  14. Store uneaten truffles in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
