Scale
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blue food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. - Add Color:
Gradually add blue food coloring to the mixture, stirring continuously. Adjust the amount until you achieve the desired shade of blue. - Shape the Truffles:
Using your hands, form small balls from the mixture, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You can use a cookie scoop for uniform size if preferred. - Coat the Truffles:

Place the coated truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up.
Notes
- For a more intense coconut flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before mixing.
- Ensure the food coloring is thoroughly mixed to avoid streaks.
- For added texture, you can mix in some finely chopped nuts or dried fruits.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
