Chocolate-Covered Pistachio and Coconut Truffles
Report
Chocolate-Covered Pistachio and Coconut Truffles, a luxurious no-bake dessert made with only 4 ingredients: desiccated coconut, pistachio cream, milk chocolate chips and chopped roasted pistachios. The truffles are really easy to make, and very quick too, and are fancy enough to be served at special occasions too.

Ingredients
- 200 g desiccated coconut ( 2.35 cups)
- 200 g pistachio cream (1.6 cup cups)
- 200 g milk chocolate chips ( 1 cup)
- ¼ cup pistachios chopped, roasted
Instructions
- Add the desiccated coconut and pistachio cream to a food processor, and blitz briefly to combine.
- From the coconut mixture shape balls the size of a walnut.
- Arrange them onto a tray lined with non-stick paper, and pop the tray in the fridge until you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate either in the microwave, or over a bain marie.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip back into the chocolate pan.
- Place the truffles back onto the paper-lined tray, and top them with chopped pistachios.
- Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes for the chocolate to set.
Notes
- Keep the truffles in the fridge until they are ready to be served, that will keep the chocolate nicely set and mess free. If they are stored at room temperature, the chocolate coating might start melting and make the truffles rather sticky.
- The pistachio cream also acts as a binding agent, and it should be enough to have a sticky enough mixture that can be shaped into balls, do not add more paste than needed, or the truffles will be sloppy.
- If the mixture stick to the hands while you shape the truffles, have a bowl of cold water around you, dipping the hands in water helps massively with the shaping.
