Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut unsweetened can be used for less sweetness
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk don't use low-fat
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Extract can increase for more flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 12 pieces Whole Roasted Unsalted Almonds ensure they are roasted
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips dark chocolate can be used
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil (melted) can substitute with vegetable oil

Equipment

  • bowl
  • fork
  • Baking Sheet
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, coconut extract, and fine sea salt until a sticky dough forms. This should take about 2-3 minutes of mixing.
  2. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture, flatten it in your palm, and place a roasted almond in the center. Roll it into a smooth ball and place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and melted coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is glossy and fully melted—this should take around 1-2 minutes.
  5. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before returning them to the parchment-lined sheet to set.
  6. Place the truffles back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to fully firm up the chocolate shell.
