Description
Almond Joy Truffles are a delightful combination of rich chocolate, crunchy almonds, and sweet coconut, reminiscent of the classic candy bar but with a homemade twist.
Ingredients
- 🌰 Whole almonds – 24 pieces
- 🥥 Shredded coconut – 2 cups (sweetened)
- 🥛 Sweetened condensed milk – 1 cup
- 🍫 Dark chocolate – 8 oz (chopped or chocolate chips)
- 🍦 Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
- Take about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it into a ball, then press a whole almond into the center.
- Chill the formed truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated, and place it back on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top and place a whole almond for decoration.
- Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Chill truffles before dipping to make handling easier.
- Experiment with different nuts for variety.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
