Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups dried coconut (fine or medium cut)
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (300 ml Canada, 14 oz US)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preparation: Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl until fully liquefied, then whisk in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Blending: Fold graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips into the liquid base, mixing thoroughly to create a cohesive, slightly tacky dough.
- Chilling: Refrigerate the mixture for approximately one hour to enhance firmness and facilitate easier shaping.
- Forming: Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, craft uniform spherical truffles, each approximately 1.25 inches in diameter, ensuring consistent sizing and shape.
- Coating: Delicately roll each truffle in additional graham cracker crumbs, generating a textured exterior that adds visual and tactile dimension.
- Setting: Position the coated truffle balls on a parchment-lined tray, then return to the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to solidify and develop a compact structure.
- Storage: Transfer the completed coconut chocolate truffle balls to an airtight container, storing in the refrigerator to preserve their integrity and freshness for up to one week.
Notes
- Chill for Success: Refrigeration is crucial for achieving the perfect truffle texture, helping the mixture solidify and making it easier to shape into uniform balls.
- Handling Tips: Use clean, slightly damp hands or a cookie scoop to create evenly sized truffles, preventing the mixture from sticking and ensuring consistent results.
- Coating Technique: Rolling in extra graham cracker crumbs adds a delightful crunch and prevents the truffles from becoming too sticky when handled.
- Storage Wisdom: Keep these delectable treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator, maintaining their fresh flavor and firm consistency for up to a week.
