Best 15 Coconut Truffles Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE APRICOT AND COCONUT TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Mix apricots, coconut and condensed milk in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Using your hands, roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on a tray lined with baking paper. Refrigerate again for 15 minutes.
• Combine oil and chocolate in a small heatproof microwave container and microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds or until chocolate is melted. Stir well.
• Using a fork, dip one ball of the apricot mixture into the chocolate mixture to coat all over and place again on the lined tray.
• Repeat with remaining balls and chocolate mixture.
• Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate has set.

COCONUT TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Mix sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and butter together in a bowl. Stir walnuts and coconut into dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and freeze until dough is firm, at least 1 hour.
• Form dough into 1-inch balls, place on prepared baking sheet, and freeze until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth.
• Dip balls into melted chocolate to coat; cool on prepared baking sheet until chocolate has hardened.

COCONUT CREAM TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Gently melt butter and white chocolate in large bowl in microwave.
• For best results don't over melt, if just a few chocolate pieces appear solid, stir them in with what has already melted until it's all smooth.
• Add coconut milk, coconut essence (optional), desiccated coconut and icing sugar.
• Stir until well mixed.
• Recipe says chill so you can roll it into balls, freeze etc, but personally I spooned my mixture into two small plastic bags so that it formed slabs about 2cm thick, then threw it into the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• Remove slabs from freezer, peel away plastic bags and"dice" your mixture so that you have a plate full of little cubes.
• Microwave your dark or milk chocolate mixture until half of it is melted, stir until all is smooth (doing it like this meant that the mixture started to set quickly and evenly around the cubes and didn't just make puddles at their bases).
• Dip the cubes one by one into the darker chocolate mixture, turning over with a teaspoon until evenly coated.
• Place coated cubes onto a tray lined with foil.
• Leave at room temperature to set, and store in a cool place (not the fridge).
• Edited to add: making the filling into round balls does look more professional and less "home made" -- mind you, once your family and friends have tasted these they honestly won't care how they look, they'll be too busy diving back in for another one :).
• I loved the suggestion about the other flavours and played around with it -- some of my guests preferred 2T Tia Maria etc for a softer more mellow taste, other preferred theirs with 3T for a stronger taste.
• The mixtures with the Baileys/Tia Maria were softer and a little more sticky than the original, so *slightly* more messy rolling them, but your guests will love you for the 10 minutes extra work.

WHITE CHOCOLATE COCONUT TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In large heatproof bowl set over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, heat chocolate, stirring, until half is melted. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, in saucepan, heat cream with butter just until butter melts and bubbles form around edge of pan. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla and coconut extract. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Using melon baller or teaspoon, drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto 2 waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Gently roll each to round off completely. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Cover and freeze for up to 1 day.).
• Coating: Toast coconut on baking sheet in 375°F (190°C) oven, stirring twice, until light golden, 10 minutes. Let cool.
• In heatproof bowl set over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt half of the chocolate, stirring. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Remove 1 pan of the truffles from freezer; using 2 forks, dip each into chocolate, tapping forks on edge of bowl to remove excess. Roll in coconut. Return to waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until coating is hardened, 2 hours.
• In clean bowl, repeat with remaining chocolate, truffles and coconut. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container; refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.) Place in paper candy cups.
• Tip: If all of the chocolate does not melt after hot cream mixture has been added, place bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water and whisk until smooth.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Melt the 1 pound of chocolate slowly in a double boiler. Cool slightly, then combine with the heavy cream. Stir in the butter and rum and refrigerate until firm but still pliable, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large straight tip and pipe into teaspoon size mounds on a sheet of waxed paper, or, alternately, spoon out the teaspoon size mounds. Refrigerate until firm. Working quickly to prevent melting, roll the chocolate into balls, then chill again until firm. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the toasted coconut briefly to make it a finer to help it adhere better to the truffles. When firm, roll each truffle in the coconut, pressing firmly to make sure the coconut sticks. At this point you can refrigerate the truffles for as much as a day, until you are ready to dip them.
• Melt the dipping chocolate in a double boiler over hot, not boiling water. Using a wire dipping spoon, or a regular teaspoon and your fingers, dip each truffle briefly into the melted chocolate. Remove to a cake rack set over a cookie sheet until dry, and refrigerate until firm. You may scrape up any chocolate that has dripped to be returned to the dipping pot. The truffles will keep for several weeks if refrigerated in a covered container.
