Ingredients
Scale
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup whole almonds, toasted
12 ounces milk chocolate, melted
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and flaked coconut until fully combined. This forms the coconut center.
Take one whole toasted almond and press it into the center of a tablespoon-sized portion of the coconut mixture. Roll the mixture around the almond to form a tight ball.
Place the formed coconut balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the centers.
Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth.
Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle out, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Place a small piece of almond on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets for decoration.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
Notes
For a dark chocolate version, substitute the milk chocolate with dark chocolate melting wafers.
If you do not have whole almonds, you can chop them and mix them into the coconut mixture for a more uniform texture.
Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
