Kates Chocolate Coconut Truffles No Sweetened Condensed Milk Food

COCONUT CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Crush the biscuits in a food processor until it is fine (like flour).
• Combine in a large bowl, the crush biscuits, 1/2 cup of fine desiccated coconuts and 2 tablespoons of cocoa. Mix the ingredients well.
• Then slowly stir in the sweetened condensed milk into the mixture. (Don't pour the whole content of the can, pour it in slowly as you only may need 340 grams of the can).
• You know you have the mixture right if the mixture is a dough ball. (If the balls are not holding shape then you may used too much sweetened condensed milk.) You should be able to roll them into a ball without being to hard or to soft.
• Shape the mixture into one-inch balls.
• Place the 1/4 cups of fine desiccated coconut into a flat plate (You may not need the whole 3/4 cups so just fill the flat plate when needed).
• Roll the ball into the fine desiccated coconut.
• Store in refrigerator until your ready to use.

Steps:

• Melt the butter gently in a pan, and when completely melted, remove from heat.

• Stir in the crushed biscuits, about a quarter at a time. This makes it easier. Also, keep an eye on the mixture. If it is too stiff, don't add all of the biscuits, if it's too loose, add a couple more. You should be able to roll it into balls.
• Roll into balls, makes around 24 bitesize balls but you can make them any size you like. Roll in the extra coconut and leave to set.

KATE'S CHOCOLATE COCONUT TRUFFLES (NO SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK)

Steps:

• Assemble a food processor, spring-loaded candy scooper or a tablespoon, 2 large baking sheets lined with wax paper, double broiler, plastic spatula, and wire dipping scoop. Note: You can dip the truffles in chocolate without using a wire dipping scoop but it makes the coating process so much easier with very little chocolate wasted. I bought my Wilton's Dipping Scoop at Jo-Ann Fabrics with a coupon for very little cost, and it has been worth every cent!
• In a food processor, combine coconut flakes, confectioner's sugar, butter, shortening, and 3 tablespoons half-and-half. Add more half-and-half, one tablespoon at a time, as needed to thoroughly moisten coconut mixture so that it sticks together but is not watery. (I usually only need to use 4 tablespoons of half-and-half total.) Pour into a bowl. Using a spring-loaded candy scooper or a tablespoon, place level tablespoon rounds of coconut mixture on wax paper-lined baking sheet. Shape rounds by rolling between palms. Place in freezer for at least five minutes to firm up.
• Boil water in double boiler and reduce to low heat. Pour half of chocolate chips (one cup) into top of double boiler and constantly stir with plastic spatula, scraping bottom of bowl, just until melted (do not get any water in the chocolate). Remove from burner.
• Place one coconut round in wire dipper leaving rest of coconut rounds in freezer. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Wipe excess chocolate off of wire dipper with spoon. Pour onto second wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat process until there is not enough melted chocolate to cover coconut rounds.
• Melt remaining chocolate chips (one cup). Coat rest of coconut rounds. Using spoon, drizzle melted chocolate over any spots of coconut that are not covered with chocolate. Drip remaining melted chocolate over each truffle until all of melted chocolate is gone.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Place candy liners in a cookie tin with a lid. Place one truffle in each candy liner. Store in the refrigerator. Allow to warm up to room temperature before eating for a much better flavor and creamier texture of filling.
