Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or dairy-free white chocolate for a vegan version)
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional – for an Easter-themed pastel effect)
- Additional shredded coconut for rolling
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This creates the base for your truffles.
Once the mixture is melted, stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened shredded coconut. Make sure the coconut is evenly incorporated for the best texture.
To make these truffles more festive, divide the mixture into small bowls and add food coloring. Choose pastel shades like pink, blue, or yellow to create that perfect Easter treat vibe. Mix gently for an even distribution of color.
Roll the coconut mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. This will ensure that each truffle is the perfect bite-sized treat for guests.
Once shaped, roll each truffle in additional shredded coconut to coat the outside. This will give the truffles a delightful texture and enhance the coconut flavor.
Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up, making them easy to serve and eat.

- Use Fresh Coconut: For the best flavor, use unsweetened shredded coconut. Fresh coconut gives a more authentic and intense coconut taste that you can’t get with dried, processed versions.
- Ensure Even Coconut Coating: When rolling the truffles in coconut, make sure they are evenly coated to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Customize the Flavor: You can add a hint of almond extract or lime zest to the coconut mixture for a unique twist.
