Creamy coconut combined with chocolate, which melts in your mouth. You only need 4 ingredients for these coconut truffles with chocolate. It's a quick and really delicious recipe.
The chocolate orange truffles last week were a great success and so I continued experimenting with making truffles.
As known the orange chocolate combination is well known, but the combination of coconut with chocolate of course is also great. And this coconut truffle proved to be a huge success. The creamy truffle combined with pure cocoa flavor and a bit a crunch from the coconut. The coconut liqueur sends a lovely dimension to the truffle, but when small children are going to eat the truffles this can of course also be replaced by coconut aroma.
- If Children eat these truffles, omit the coconut liqueur or replace it with a coconut flavor without alcohol. Children and alcohol is a no go.
- Because you roll a ball with your hands, the outside of the truffle becomes a bit soft, and the coconut sticks well. When you keep them in the fridge again, they will keep their shape.
- Replace the dark chocolate with white chocolate. White chocolate with coconut is very tasty.
- Instead of coconut liqueur, you can also use rum (for an extra boost).
- You can't store these truffles at room temperature.
- Keep the truffles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Truffles can also be frozen. You then pack them individually in a piece of wax paper and then in an airtight bag or box. This way you can keep them for 2 weeks. Before defrosting, let them thaw in their packaging at room temperature. That takes about 2-3 hours.
