What Are Coconut Mint Truffles?

Coconut mint truffles are small, no-bake confections made by mixing creamy mascarpone with coconut flour, powdered sugar, and mint syrup. Rolled into balls and coated in more coconut flour, these treats are a fun and refreshing variation on traditional truffles. Unlike dense chocolate truffles, these are light, airy, and subtly sweet, offering a burst of flavor in every bite.

Pro Tips for the Best Coconut Truffles

• Use full-fat mascarpone for the creamiest texture.
• Mint syrup can be homemade or store-bought—adjust sweetness to taste.
• Chill before serving to help the truffles firm up and develop flavor.
• Want more texture? Roll them in shredded coconut instead of flour.
• Add a drop of green food coloring for a minty hue if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

What If I Don’t Have Mint Syrup?

You can use a drop of peppermint extract mixed with simple syrup (sugar + water) as a substitute.

Can These Be Made Ahead?

Definitely. Prepare them a day in advance and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Can I Add Chocolate?

Absolutely! Dip them in melted dark chocolate or mix in mini chocolate chips for a twist.

Are These Vegan?

Not as written. However, you can use dairy-free mascarpone alternatives and plant-based mint syrup to make them vegan.
