Coconut Snowmen Truffle Recipe
Ingredients:
● 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
● 1/2 tbsp butter
● 4 tbsp shredded coconut (about 30g)
Decoration:
● Sprinkles (for the nose)
● White and black chocolate chips (for the buttons)
● Sour strips (for the scarf)
● Melted dark chocolate (for the eyes and mouth)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Truffle Mixture:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and shredded coconut.
- Stir constantly until the mixture starts to bubble. Once it boils, keep stirring for about 5 more minutes until it thickens to a dough-like consistency.
2. Cool and Shape:
○ Transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it’s firm enough to mold (about 30 minutes to an hour).
3. Shape the Snowmen:
○ Once the mixture is ready, form small balls of three different sizes for each snowman (small, medium, large).
○ Roll each ball in more shredded coconut to coat.
○ Stack the three balls, starting with the largest at the bottom, securing them with a toothpick.
4. Decorate:
○ Melt white chocolate and use it to glue a sprinkle onto the middle ball as the snowman’s nose.
○ For the eyes and mouth, use melted dark chocolate.
Dip a toothpick into the chocolate and carefully draw them onto the smallest ball to complete the face.
Add black chocolate chips as buttons.
○ Cut a small piece of sour strip and wrap it around the “neck” of the snowman to form a scarf.
5. Chill:
○ Refrigerate the snowmen for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the decorations to set.
Tips:
● If the mixture is too sticky to handle, add a bit more shredded coconut.
● Keep the snowmen chilled until ready to serve to ensure they stay firm.
