Description
Whimsical and easy coconut truffles shaped like fluffy bunny tails, perfect for Easter celebrations.
Ingredients
5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
2 cups unsweetened fine coconut (desiccated)
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
Liquid food coloring as needed
Instructions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 cups of shredded coconut with the sifted confectioner's sugar.
Step 2: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and sticky.
Step 3: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to let the mixture firm up for easier rolling.
Step 4: Prepare the coating by placing the 2 cups of fine coconut in a shallow dish. If coloring, add food coloring to the coconut and mix well.
Step 5: Using a small scoop or tablespoon, take a portion of the chilled coconut mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball.
Step 6: Roll the ball into the fine coconut until completely covered and fluffy in appearance.
Step 7: Place on a tray lined with parchment paper and chill for an additional 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is completely cooled before mixing to maintain the right consistency. For a lower sugar version, use unsweetened condensed milk alternatives.
