If you love the taste of traditional truffles with chocolate ganache, you will appreciate these coconut cocoa truffles, which include a mixture of coconut, cocoa powder, sugar, and soy milk. They are incredibly easy to whip up, taking only moments to assemble them, and they are suitable for vegan diets since they use plant-based milk. They are also dairy-free and gluten-free. Whether you require a sweet treat to have as a snack or dessert, or serve to guests, these will be sure to please.

To make them, you simply combine the coconut, sugar, and cocoa powder in a bowl, before adding the soy milk until the mixture is homogeneous. Then, you shape the truffle mixture into truffles before rolling them in additional coconut and refrigerating them until they are solid. These truffles are sure to delight with their fudgy centres and the texture of sweet coconut.

What are Coconut Cocoa Truffles?

These coconut cocoa truffles are a blend of four ingredients including coconut, cocoa powder, sugar, and soy milk. The ingredients are combined to make a chocolate mixture that is similar to a chocolate ganache before being shaped into truffles and rolled in coconut. These truffles are perfect for those who adore the combination of chocolate and coconut.

Pro Tips

  • Stir the ingredients together until they are evenly combined to ensure that the mixture is easy to shape into truffles.
  • If you find that the truffle mixture is a little too wet, you can add extra cocoa powder to help it bind together.
  • If you think that the truffle mixture is too dry, you can add additional soy milk to the mixture.
  • If preferred, you could replace the soy milk with dairy milk instead. However, other plant-based milks will work as well.
  • For an extra coconut flavour, you can use coconut milk in the truffles instead of soy milk.
  • For other garnishes, feel free to roll the truffles into cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, or chopped nuts.

What to Serve with Coconut Cocoa Truffles?

These coconut cocoa truffles can be served with other confections or cookies as part of a larger dessert spread. Alternatively, you could serve them on their own with a hot beverage or cold glass of milk.

Can I Add Chocolate Chips to Truffles?

Yes, if you would like the truffles to have extra texture, you could mix some mini chocolate chips into the truffle mixture before rolling them. Alternatively, feel free to melt chocolate chips to dip the truffles in to create a smooth coating.

Can I Add Other Flavours to Truffles?

Yes, you definitely can! If you enjoy the taste of chocolate and orange, you could add some orange extra into the chocolate mixture. Alternatively, you can add some liquor to the filling for a boozy flavour, such as rum or amaretto.

Can You Toast the Coconut?

Yes, you definitely could use toasted coconut in these truffles. Toasted coconut has such a rich taste and more texture than regular coconut. You can simply toast it in the oven until it is golden and allow it to cool before using it in this coconut cocoa truffles recipe.
