Chocolate Coated Coconut & Almond Truffles

If you love coconut, then this is definitely for you!! I once tried these long back at my Arab friend's house and really liked it. It is really very easy to make, does not require anyyyyyy cooking, tastes delicious and requires very few ingredients. Hope you like these?

Ingredients
2 cups + 1/2 cup  dry desiccated coconut
1/2 cup finely ground almonds
14 oz can condensed milk
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
150-200g milk chocolate or White chocolate (your preference)
1 tbs butter

1. In a large bowl, add the desiccated coconut, ground almond, vanilla essence and condensed milk.( Pour the condensed milk half cup at a time so that it can form a dough.)
2. Mix this until it forms a firm dough. In case you feel the dough is too wet add a little bit more of the desiccated coconut. If it is too dry add a little bit more of condensed milk.

3. If you are able to shape it into firm balls (LOL!) then you have nailed it.
4. To melt the chocolate, add some water to a  deep bottom pan and let it come to a boil. Then  place another heat proof bowl on top of the pan making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the boiling water.
5. Add the chocolate and butter to the bowl and let it melt.
6.Now take the coconut dough and shape them into small balls.
7. Dip these balls into the chocolate. You can either fully coat the coconut balls with chocolate or coat it half way through. I have done both and used some white chocolate as well on some of the balls.
8. Next take 1/2 cup of the desiccated coconut in a bowl and roll the chocolate coated balls into them. If you have coated the truffles with chocolate half way through then you can sprinkle the coconut on the part with the chocolate.
9. Once you're done coating them, let them chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

Enjoy!
