How to make Chocolate Coconut Truffles?
Add all ingredients except chocolate to a food processor and blend for a minute or two. Check if the consistency of the mixture is like wet sand, we have to shape bite size bites out of it. When mixture is ready, shape it into bite-size bites and place on a plate or tray. Place in refrigerator for 15-20 mins.
If you are mixture is very sticky or runny, add more coconut little by little and check the consistency. If mixture is too dry, add more maple syrup or milk of choice little by little to get desired texture.
Wet your hands a little if using bare hands to make coconut bites ( mixture can be a little sticky because of maple syrup )
When coconut bites are firm enough and are out of refrigerator, melt dark chocolate chips in a bowl. Use either double boiler method or microwave for one-minute in 30 sec intervals. When chocolate is completely melted, dip coconut bites in chocolate and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat till all coconut bites are covered in chocolate. Keep them in cool dry place for 10-15 mins and enjoy with a tiny sprinkle of sea salt if desired!
Enjoy these homemade, raw, chocolate cuties without any guilt. And the best thing, you made them!
