Ingredients
- 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 4 teaspoons coconut oil divided and melted
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, stir the coconut and powdered sugar together.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and 2 teaspoons of melted coconut oil. Stir to combine.
- Scoop 1-tablespoon-sized portions and gently roll them into smooth balls.
- Place the coconut balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for 30 minutes to set.
- Add the dark chocolate chips, chocolate bark, and remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut oil to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds and then stir. Continue heating and stirring in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Working one at a time, dip each coconut truffle into the melted chocolate and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Return the truffle to the parchment-lined baking sheet and continue dipping the remaining truffles.
- Place the truffles into the refrigerator and allow them to chill until the chocolate has set, about 15 minutes.
