Description
These Easy Snowy Coconut Almond Truffles are festive no-bake treats featuring a creamy coconut filling wrapped around a toasted almond, coated in coconut, and lightly sealed with white chocolate. Perfect for holidays, gifts, or anytime sweet cravings.
Ingredients
- For the truffle filling:
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 20–25 whole almonds, toasted
- For the coating:
- 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut
- ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted (for sealing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast almonds for 8–10 minutes until fragrant. Cool completely.
- In a large bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, melted white chocolate, 1½ cups coconut, and vanilla extract until thick. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture, flatten it, and place a toasted almond in the center. Wrap the mixture around the almond and roll into a ball.
- Roll each truffle in additional desiccated coconut until fully coated.
- Melt remaining white chocolate and dip the bottom of each truffle to help seal.
- Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Swap almonds with hazelnuts or cashews for variety.
- Add almond extract for extra nutty flavor.
- For less sweetness, reduce white chocolate and increase coconut.
- Roll in chopped nuts or coconut mixed with cocoa for a twist.
- Store chilled in a single layer or separated by parchment paper.
