No-bake, creamy, and coated in chocolate—these truffles are perfect for gifting, parties, and sweet cravings year-round
Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Coating options (choose one or mix!):
Cocoa powder
Crushed nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios)
Shredded coconut
Powdered sugar
Chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, warm heavy cream until just starting to simmer (don’t boil).
2. Place chopped chocolate in a heat-safe bowl and pour the hot cream over it.
3. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
4. Mix in butter until melted and fully blended — this makes it extra silky.
5. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
6. Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls (work quickly — hands warm the chocolate).
7. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder or your choice of coatings.
8. Place truffles on a tray and refrigerate 20–30 minutes before serving.
Chocolate Coconut Truffles (No-Bake)
Ingredients
For the Coconut Filling
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp softened butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: ½ cup chopped almonds (for Almond Joy–style)
For Coating
1 ½ cups chocolate chips or melted chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
1 tsp coconut oil (optional — makes the coating smoother)
Topping (optional)
Extra shredded coconut
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix: coconut, sweetened condensed milk, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir until it forms a sticky dough. Chill 20–30 minutes so it’s easier to roll.
2. Scoop and roll into small balls (1–1.5 inches). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Freeze 15–20 minutes to firm up.
3. Melt chocolate (and coconut oil if using) in the microwave in 20–second bursts. Dip each coconut ball into melted chocolate and place back on parchment. Add toppings immediately before the chocolate sets.
4. Refrigerate 15–20 minutes until chocolate is fully set.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Freeze up to 3 months.
