These melt-in-your-mouth truffles are easy and quick to make - the recipe uses only 3 ingredients! The time listed as cooking time is actually the time needed for refrigeration. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups dried coconut flakes, (natural, no sugar added, be sure to get medium size flakes, not the coarse or fine flakes). |
14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk |
12 -16 roasted almonds, (depending on how many truffles you make). you can also use walnuts or hazelnuts. |
1 cup coconut flakes, for coating |
Directions:
1. Mix the condensed milk and dried coconut flakes together. Check to see if you can make a ball with the mixture. If not, add some more coconut flakes. Mix again and set aside for 15 minutes to firm up.
2. With your hands, make balls and then insert a roasted almond (or walnut or hazelnut) into the center of the ball. Pat over where the nut was inserted.
3. Gently roll in a bowl of coconut to coat.
4. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. These are served cold.
