Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups coconut flakes unsweetened
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk store-bought, vegan
  • 24 pcs whole natural almonds roasted
  • 24 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips vegan

Instructions
 

  • Line a large cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper. A silicone mat can also be used as an alternative.
  • Combine coconut flakes and vegan-sweetened condensed milk in a medium mixing bowl. When pressed together, the mixture should retain its shape.
  • If it doesn't hold its shape, add a tablespoon of condensed milk at a time until it does.
  • Scoop 1.5 tablespoons of the coconut mixture, shape it into balls, and place them on your prepared cookie sheet. Place one almond on top of each pile.
  • Place the mounds in the refrigerator until firm for about 30-minutes or in the freezer for faster cooling time.

Chocolate Dip

  • Melt chocolate using a large microwave-safe bowl according to package directions until just melted. Avoid overheating.
  • Using a spoon, gently pour melted chocolate over the truffle. Lift the truffle out of the chocolate with a fork and allow any excess chocolate to drain back into the chocolate bowl.
  • To help remove extra chocolate, lightly tap it against the side of the bowl. Allow the truffles at room temperature to let the chocolate harden. Return the truffles to the lined tray.
  • Serve these lovely truffles immediately. For leftovers, store them inside the refrigerator in an airtight container to retain their freshness.

Notes

If you can't find store-bought vegan sweetened condensed milk and are planning to make one from scratch, you can make that ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. This process will save you more time in preparation and cooling time.
When melting the chocolate, do not heat it all at once. To keep the chocolate from burning, melt it in 30-second increments while mixing. You can also add more coconut flakes on top after coating them with melted chocolate. If you prefer it with more bite and texture, use chopped nuts instead.
