White Chocolate Coconut Truffles

Coconut Truffles Recipe
Melt-in-your-mouth white chocolate coconut truffles that are made simply by rolling these candies twice. Once rolled in flaked coconut and then rolled again in white chocolate. YUMMY! 



INGREDIENTS:
1 14 ounce bag of sweetened shredded flaked coconut
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1.5 tsp. of almond extract
2 tsp. of vanilla extract
3 – 4 tbsp. of all-purpose flour
16 ounces of Semi-sweet Baking White Chocolate squares
Toasted almonds, whole or cut in half (optional)

DIRECTIONS: Place the coconut, condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract and flour in a large mixing bowl. Mix together until well incorporated. Cover the bowl and put in to the fridge for 2 hours.

Line a few containers with parchment paper. Once the mixture is chilled,  use a cookie scoop and roll 1 to 1.5-inch balls and place each one on the prepared container. If using the almonds, press one almond in the middle of a coconut ball so it sticks (the ball may flatten, but that is OK).  Cover the containers with foil and place in the freezer for 1.5 hours.

Place chopped white chocolate in to a small saucepan. Place a double boiler filled one-quarter full with water over the stovetop on medium-high. When water simmers and steam is coming up through the boiler, put the chocolate on top of the double boiler.  Let the chocolate melt completely, and frequently stir until it is melted.

Take one container of the coconut balls out of the freezer. Remove melted chocolate from heat. Use a spoon to drop one or two coconut balls in to the chocolate. Coat entirely with the chocolate, and then place on a baking pan lined with a silicone baking mat or wax paper. Continue until each one is coated, and repeat with remaining containers in freezer. Once all are coated, place the baking sheet in the fridge to cool and allow chocolate to harden. Will be ready to devour within 30 minutes or less. ENJOY!
