Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup whole almonds (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Mix these ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
- Roll the coconut mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Press one whole almond lightly into the top center of each ball.
- Place the formed coconut balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth.
- Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
- Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined sheet. If desired, press a small piece of almond onto the top of each truffle before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use sweetened condensed milk instead of maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter center.
- If you do not have whole almonds, you can use chopped almonds mixed into the coconut filling.
- Store these homemade candy recipes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
