  • - 1/2 cup cream cheese

How To Make dark chocolate coconut truffles

  • Step 1
    Beat the coconut, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and extract with a mixer until smooth. Roll into 1 1/2" - balls and place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze for about one hour.
  • Step 2
    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and coconut oil, while stirring constantly. Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate with a fork, covering the ball completely with chocolate, letting the excess drain through the fork tongs. Use a spoon to lightly push truffle off fork and back onto the wax paper.
  • Step 3
    Refrigerate until set. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
