These Almond Joy Truffles capture the flavors of the classic candy bar: coconut, almonds, and chocolate. Easy to make and perfect for gifting, dessert trays, or indulging at home, these bite-sized treats are irresistibly delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 20 whole almonds, toasted
  • 200 g (7 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky.
  2. Shape the Truffles:
    • Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) of the coconut mixture and roll them into balls.
    • Press a whole toasted almond into the center of each ball and reshape if needed. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate or freeze for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
  3. Dip in Chocolate:
    • Melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
    • Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment paper.
  4. Decorate (Optional):
    • Sprinkle the tops with a pinch of shredded coconut or drizzle with extra melted chocolate for decoration before the coating sets.
  5. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the truffles for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use roasted salted almonds.
  • Substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter coating.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
