Bite-sized creamy truffles with toasted coconut and a luxe flavour.
Best moment: After-dinner treat or edible gift
Method:
-
Toast the coconut (optional but recommended):
In a dry frying pan over medium heat, lightly toast the shredded coconut until golden and fragrant (about 2–3 minutes). Set aside to cool. -
Mix the ingredients:
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut (toasted or plain), and syrup. Stir until a sticky, mouldable mixture forms. -
Roll into balls:
With slightly damp hands, roll the mixture into small balls, roughly 2.5 cm in diameter. Place them on a tray or plate lined with baking paper. -
Chill:
Transfer the truffles to the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. -
Coating (optional):
If desired, melt vegan white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between each). Dip the chilled truffles into the melted chocolate and return them to the lined tray. -
Finish off:
Place coated truffles back in the fridge for another 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.
Optional: Sprinkle with extra coconut or a pinch of sea salt before the chocolate fully hardens.
