  • Toast the coconut flakes to enhance their flavor. This simple step brings out the natural sweetness and richness of the coconut.
  • Chill the truffle mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling. This will help the mixture set and make it easier to roll into balls.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to roll, add more coconut flakes or almond flour. If it is too dry, add more maple syrup or coconut oil.
  • Be creative with your toppings. You can use chopped nuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or even edible glitter to decorate your truffles.
