Description
These Coconut Almond Truffles are smooth, rich, and incredibly easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. A creamy coconut base wraps around a crunchy almond center, finished with a snowy coating of coconut. Perfect for holidays, gifting, or satisfying your sweet tooth without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 ½ cups desiccated coconut
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
20 whole almonds, toasted
½ cup extra desiccated coconut for coating
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and desiccated coconut. Mix until well combined and thickened slightly.
2. Optional: Toast the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and aromatic. Let them cool.
3. Scoop out a teaspoon of the mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place one almond in the center and wrap the mixture around it to form a ball.
4. Roll each truffle in the extra desiccated coconut to coat completely.
5. Place the finished truffles on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
Slightly dampen your hands before rolling the truffles to prevent sticking and make shaping easier.
Toasting the almonds is optional, but it adds a rich depth and crunch to the center.
You can freeze these truffles in an airtight container for up to 2 months — just thaw before serving.
