Chocolate Coconut Truffles

By J. Gagliardi

Ingredients

• 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 melted butter
• 2 cups chocolate chips for the coating

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the coconut, sugar, condensed milk, and melted butter in a bowl.
With clean hands, form the coconut mixture into bite-sized balls.
Place on a lined baking sheet and freeze for about two hours or until completely hard.
In a double-boiler, melt your chocolate chips.
Take your coconut balls from the freezer and dip into the chocolate.
Place back in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
To be extra fancy, you can drizzle more melted chocolate over the cold truffles.
