Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Coating
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Truffle Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes sticky, about 8 to 10 minutes. This helps the truffles hold their shape.
- Shape the Truffles: Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly until safe to handle. Roll the thickened coconut mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to firm them up for easier coating.
- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Use 30-second microwave intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted white chocolate mixture, ensuring each one is evenly coated. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and refrigerate them until the chocolate sets, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the coating has hardened, your Snowballs Coconut Fudge Truffles are ready to enjoy as a delicious treat or to share at gatherings.
Notes
- For best results, chill the truffle mixture before dipping to avoid melting the chocolate coating.
- You can substitute shredded coconut with desiccated coconut for a finer texture.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- To make the coating vegan, use dairy-free white chocolate chips and ensure the sweetened condensed milk is plant-based.
