Samoa Truffles
Samoa Truffles are a delightful fusion of flavors that mimic the popular Samoa Girl Scout cookies, combining coconut, chocolate, and caramel in a simple, easy-to-make sweet treat.
Ingredients
For the truffles
- 1 cup shredded coconut Toasted until golden brown
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips Can be dairy-free if preferred
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce Can be replaced with chocolate hazelnut spread if desired
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts For added crunch, adjust amount as desired
For rolling
- Additional to taste toasted coconut For coating the truffles
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted coconut, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
Coating
- After chilling, dip each truffle into caramel sauce and then roll in additional toasted coconut if desired.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for garnish.
- Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them separated by wax paper for up to three months. Adding a pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate hardens can create a sweet and salty flavor.
