Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Mixture
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Fudge Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the mixture thickens significantly, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Shape the Truffles: Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly to handle. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each coconut ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Set the Coating: Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Enjoy: Serve your homemade Snowballs Coconut Fudge Truffles chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use shredded coconut, not desiccated, to maintain moisture in the fudge mixture.
- Stir constantly while cooking to avoid scorching the fudge base.
- Ensure the truffles are well chilled before dipping to maintain shape during coating.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a vegan version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with a plant-based condensed milk alternative and use vegan white chocolate chips.
