Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of crushed Samoa cookies or vanilla wafers
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 3 tbsp caramel sauce
- ½ tsp coconut extract
- 8 oz melted dark or milk chocolate
- ½ cup toasted coconut (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Samoa cookies (or vanilla wafers), softened cream cheese, caramel sauce, and coconut extract. Mix everything together until a sticky dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm them up.
- While the truffles are chilling, melt the dark or milk chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals.
- Once the truffles are chilled, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet.
- Garnish the truffles with toasted coconut while the chocolate is still soft.
- Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate has set. Once set, they’re ready to serve!
Notes
- You can use either dark or milk chocolate for dipping, depending on your preference.
- Toast the coconut lightly in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes to bring out its flavor before garnishing the truffles.
- Store any leftover truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
