Chocolate Dipped Coconut Truffles

Making your own treats for Valentine’s Day (or any day!) isn’t hard at all! These 5 ingredient Chocolate Dipped Coconut Truffles are fast, easy and will blow your sweetheart away. If you are a fan of Mounds bars, then this one’s for you. 

When it comes to Valentine’s Day, or any other day, nothing says, “I love and appreciate you” like homemade treats.
I guarantee you, though, that homemade treats do NOT have to be complicated. In fact, complicated equals stressful, and stressful does not feel very lovey.

So, I’m hoping you’ll make these Chocolate Dipped Coconut Truffles.

These are so freaking good, and so freaking easy. They look like adorable little truffles, in fact they are little Mounds bars, but homemade. So if you’re a Mounds or Almond Joy lover, then these are for you!

In only 5 ingredients, you will have homemade truffles, and spread love! Fun, right? And if you want to make a cute little chocolate box for a friend or a loved one, you could also include these Dark Chocolate Crunchy Nut Butter Cups and my Dark Chocolate Red Wine Truffles, because they’re super simple too.

I will warn you, there is chocolate left over from the dipping process. SO you can either: completely enrobe the truffles in the chocolate instead of dipping the top OR you can use the leftover chocolate to dip pretzels in, eat straight, or freeze it in an ice cube tray to use another time.

Ready? Let’s make some Chocolate Dipped Coconut Truffles now!

Ingredients

1. 1 cup unsweetened coconut (small shred/desiccated)
2. ¼ cup powdered sugar
3. 2 Tbs. sweetened condensed milk
4. ½ cup dark chocolate chips (I used semisweet)
5. ½ tsp. coconut oil
6. sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the coconut, powdered sugar and sweetened condensed milk. Mash it all together with a wooden spoon (or silicone spatula) until it comes together and it is all moistened. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
2. Lay out a piece of parchment to place finished truffles. Use a teaspoon scoop to scoop out balls of the coconut mixture and use your hands to then pack each into a tight ball. Place on the parchment, continue until all of the coconut is gone.
3. Heat the chocolate until melted (in a double-boiler or in a microwave safe dish in 30 second increments, stirring). Add the coconut oil to the chocolate and stir until combined and the chocolate is shiny. Dip the top of each truffle into the chocolate and place back on the parchment. Once they’re all dipped, sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt over the top of all of the truffles.
4. Let the truffles sit until the chocolate is set. Then, transfer to a covered container, OR just eat them now! You can keep them on the counter, well-sealed, or in the fridge (if you plan on having them for more than a few days). Enjoy!
