Ingredients
- 3 large egg yolks
- 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup butter cubed
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 4 oz. German Chocolate
- 1 1/4 cups Toasted Coconut
- 1 cup toasted pecans
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate coating chocolate
- 2 T. Toasted Coconut optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Sprinkle coconut on baking sheet. Place into the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool. Do the same with the chopped pecans. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, add in the egg yolks and sugar. Stir until combined.
- Add in the sweetened condensed milk and butter. Place over medium/low heat and let the butter melt.
- Once the butter is melted, bump the heat up to medium and let it cook for 15 minutes until it's super thick.
- Remove from the heat and add in the vanilla and german chocolate. Stir until incorporated.
- Add in the toasted cocoant and pecans. Stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and let sit for about an hour until it holds it's shape when scooped.
- Lay out a piece of wax paper. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the truffles and place on the wax paper.
- Let the truffles sit for at least another hour until it firms up. I let mine sit for a couple of hours.
- Roll the truffles between your two palms. Repeat with all of the truffles.
- Add the milk chocolate coating chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat microwaving and stirring until the chocolate is smooth.
- Dip each truffle in the coating chocolate and tap off any excess chocolate. Place onto a clean piece of wax paper.
- Top with toasted coconut and let the chocolate harden up.
