Description

Make these easy truffles for special occasions like parties, holidays or snacks.

Ingredients

• 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 c. sweetened coconut flakes, plus more for dredging
• 1 T. unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing a plate and your hands
• 1 T. pure vanilla extract

Steps

1. Mix together condensed milk, coconut flakes and butter. Cook in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to show the bottom of the pan when scraped with a wooden spoon, about 7 minutes. The coconut mixture should be thick enough to reveal the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the mixture levels out again.
2. When coconut dough is ready, remove from heat; mix in vanilla extract; spread mixture onto a greased plate. Let cool to room temperature before starting to roll them into balls using greased hands, using a ½ T. as a measurement.
3. Gently dredge in the coconut flakes until totally covered. Place into paper bonbon cups.
