Title: Kokospralinen Coconut Truffles
Ingredients:
– 2 cups shredded coconut, divided
– 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture comes together and forms a sticky dough.
2. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, portion out the coconut mixture and roll it into smooth balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
3. In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chopped semisweet chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring until smooth and glossy.
4. Remove the chilled coconut balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded coconut over the truffles for a decorative touch.
6. Once all the truffles are coated and decorated, refrigerate them for another 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate.
7. Serve these Kokospralinen Coconut Truffles on a festive platter or package them in a pretty box with a ribbon for a lovely homemade gift that will surely delight anyone lucky enough to receive them.
