Chocolate Macadamia Truffles with Coconut
When you love chocolate, macadamia nuts, and coconut, there’s only one thing to do – make these decadently delicious truffles.
Yields 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/3 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup macadamia butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk
- 2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
-
Finely chop the coconut by pulsing it in a food processor. Set aside.
-
Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it over a small saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate chips by placing them in a small microwaveable bowl and microwave on high for about 1 1/2 minutes, or just until the chocolate is completely melted.) Add the macadamia butter and coconut milk and blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Place the chocolate mixture, sugar, and 1/3 cup of the reserved coconut into a food processor and process until well combined.
-
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and roll them in the remaining 1 cup coconut, pressing so the coconut adheres to the truffles. Place the truffles on a platter or a baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
