Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Truffles:
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Coating:
  • 8 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for shine)
For Garnish (Optional):

 

  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped dried cherries
  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

Make the Truffle Filling:

  1. Mix the Ingredients:

    • In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, chopped dried cherries, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
    • Stir until fully mixed and sticky.

  2. Chill & Shape:

    • Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
    • Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
    • Freeze for 15-20 minutes to set.

Coat in Chocolate:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  2. Dip the Truffles:

    • Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.
    • Let excess drip off, then place back on the parchment-lined tray.

Garnish & Set:

 

  1. Decorate (Optional):

    • Sprinkle with coconut or chopped cherries while the chocolate is still wet.
    • Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a decorative touch.

  2. Chill & Serve:

    • Refrigerate for 30 minutes until chocolate is set.
    • Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Want an extra cherry surprise? Add a whole maraschino cherry inside before rolling.
  • Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week or freeze for 3 months.
