Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 ½ cups dried coconut, fine or medium cut
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
Liquid Base:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (300 ml Canada, 14 ounces US)
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating:
- Additional graham cracker crumbs for rolling the cookie balls
Instructions
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the butter until completely liquefied, then whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and pure vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous.
- Incorporate the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips into the liquid mixture, thoroughly blending all ingredients until a consistent, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for approximately 60 minutes, which will help firm up the mixture and make it easier to shape.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, carefully form the chilled mixture into uniform spheres, each measuring about 1.25 inches (3.2 centimeters) in diameter, ensuring even sizing for consistent truffles.
- Gently roll each truffle ball in additional graham cracker crumbs, creating a delicate exterior coating that adds texture and visual appeal.
- Place the coated truffle balls on a parchment-lined tray and return them to the refrigerator for an additional 30-45 minutes to completely set and develop a firm consistency.
- Once fully chilled, transfer the coconut chocolate truffle balls to an airtight container with a secure lid, storing them in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness for up to one week.
Notes
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before shaping to ensure easier handling and better texture of truffle balls.
- Use clean, slightly damp hands when rolling to prevent sticky mixture from clinging to your palms.
- Toast coconut flakes beforehand for an enhanced nutty flavor and deeper golden color.
- Consider using dark or milk chocolate chips based on personal sweetness preference.
- These truffles stay fresh for up to one week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- No baking required, making this an easy no-cook dessert perfect for quick sweet treats.
