Confession: My name is Lauren and I like to over complicate my life sometimes. Why do I do this? Even my husband knows this about me. Occasionally as we eat ANOTHER new recipe he will look at me and say, “you know you can just make like chicken and vegetables if you want, right?” I always giggle.
I just love to challenge myself to try new flavors and dishes and combinations. But also sometimes things turn out terrible-- I burn it or I hate the dish. This is even worse with desserts because gluten free baking is so dang unpredictable. My point is that sometimes we just need simple, especially when it comes to desserts. So here it is, a delicious No Bake Coconut Cream Truffles recipe!
How to make this truffles recipe - step by step
-
Beat butter with a mixer until smooth. Mix in extracts, coconut cream and salt.
-
Add the powdered sugar and coconut flour until well mixed.
-
Pour in shredded coconut. At this point I usually put some coconut oil on my hands and mix together with my hands.
-
Tear of tablespoon sized chunks and gently form into balls.
-
Set on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
-
Chill for at least 1 hour before dipping.
-
When ready to dip, melt candy with coconut oil in a glass bowl in the microwave or using the double boil method.
-
Dip each ball into the chocolate using a fork or skewer, tapping off the excess and place on lined cookie sheet.
-
Sprinkle with sprinkles or coconut or drizzle with milk chocolate if desired.
-
Chill until set, store in refrigerator.
-
Before serving leave at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
What is a Truffle?
A truffle is a bite-sized chocolate confection that can have a variety of ingredients and flavors. At their most basic, they require just two components: chocolate and cream. When you hear truffle you may think of the expensive fungus with a pungent taste and you’re not too far off.
Dessert truffles are traditionally made by hand and rolled in cocoa powder which gives them a look similar to the fungus which is actually where they got their name.
