Description
Almond Joy Truffles are delightful bites inspired by the classic candy bar, combining chocolate, coconut, and almonds for a rich and creamy treat.
Ingredients
- 🌰 Whole almonds – 24 pieces (for garnish)
- 🥥 Shredded coconut – 2 cups (sweetened)
- 🥛 Sweetened condensed milk – 1 cup
- 🍫 Dark chocolate – 8 oz (for coating)
- 🍦 Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
- Roll small portions of the mixture into balls and press a whole almond into the center of each ball.
- Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Overmixing the coconut mixture can lead to a dry texture.
- Chilling the truffles is crucial for maintaining their shape during coating.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate when melting.
- Don’t skip the garnish; it adds flavor and texture.
