Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 7 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can (14 ounces) dulce de leche
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 box (14 ounces, about 3 cups crushed) Nilla Wafer cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 16 ounces Ghirardelli dark chocolate wafers
Instructions
- Combine the mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, dulce de leche, sweetened condensed milk, and crushed Nilla Wafer cookies until the ingredients are evenly incorporated into a sticky, cohesive mixture.
- Form the truffles: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper. Continue until all mixture is portioned and arranged. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to help firm up the truffles.
- Melt the chocolate: While the truffles chill, melt the Ghirardelli dark chocolate wafers according to the package directions, usually about 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip the truffles: Take each frozen truffle and dip the bottom into the melted chocolate, then return them to the parchment-lined sheet. Repeat until all truffles have a chocolate bottom coating.
- Drizzle the truffles: Place the remaining melted chocolate in a small zip-top bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the tops of the truffles for an elegant finish.
- Chill and store: Refrigerate or freeze the truffles in an airtight container until firm and ready to serve. These truffles keep well chilled for up to two weeks.
Notes
- If dulce de leche is not available, caramel sauce can be used as a substitute, but the flavor may be slightly different.
- Make sure to crush the Nilla Wafers finely to ensure a smooth texture in the truffles.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the coating to achieve a rich, smooth finish.
- For easier dipping, keep the truffles cold until ready to dip to prevent melting.
- Store truffles in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for longer storage.
