Chocolate Covered Coconut Truffles

This is dedicated to a fellow blogger who asked me for this recipe many months ago when I made these for my mom for Mothers Day! These are really really simple and taste so absolutely amazing!

Chocolate Covered Coconut Truffles

GATHER:

3 cups sweetened, shredded coconut

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted in microwave for a few seconds

1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, melted (I used Lindt special dark chocolate bar ) 

TO DO:

1. In a large bowl, combined coconut and sugar and mix to combine. 

2. Add in milk and coconut oil, mix constantly until a gooey coconut filling results. 

3. Roll between the palm of your hands into teaspoon-sized (or a little larger) balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 

4. Freeze for 15 minutes, then remove from freeze and roll again between your palms to smooth any coconut edges. 

5. Freeze for 10-15 minutes more. 

6. While freezing, melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave. Remove coconut balls from freezer and immediately dip.

Refrigerate until ready to serve – at least 15 minutes.
