    How to Make Homemade Chocolate Covered Coconut Truffles 

    1. In a large bowl, combine coconut, confectioners sugar, sweetened condensed milk and melted coconut oil together until mixed well.
    2. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out balls of coconut mixture and place on parchment paper on a large baking sheet. Place in freeze for 10-15 minutes.
    3. Take coconut mounds out of freezer and roll each one between the palm of your hands to smooth any coconut edges. Place balls back on parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 10-15 minutes more.
    4. Melt chocolate chips before removing balls from freezer.
    5. Immediately dip each ball into the chocolate covering them fully and place back onto the parchment lined baking sheet to set.  Drizzle, decorate with your favorite sprinkles as desired. 
    6. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 15 minutes.

    • Room temperature is the best way to serve these, but keep them refrigerated until ready to serve for best results.
    • Truffles should be stored in an airtight sealable container until ready to eat. Storing them in the refrigerator will help them keep their shape and will keep longer. 
    • Store truffles in an airtight sealable container in your freezer for up to 3 months. Store them in a Ziploc bag once they are completely frozen so that they don't stick together.
