💚 Why You’ll Love Them
- 100% vegan and dairy-free
- Only a handful of ingredients
- No baking required
- Creamy, coconut-filled centers with a rich chocolate shell
🥥 Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for topping)
- ½ cup coconut cream (or the thick part of canned coconut milk)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the filling:
In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix until the texture is sticky and holds together when pressed. - Shape the truffles:
Scoop out small portions and roll them into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes to firm up. - Melt the chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil together (microwave or double boiler method) until smooth and glossy. - Dip and decorate:
Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Place back on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with toasted coconut before the chocolate hardens. - Chill:
Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
🌿 Tips & Variations
- Add crushed almonds or hazelnuts inside for a Ferrero-style crunch.

- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week (if they last that long!).
