SophieIf you’re craving a quick, no-fuss dessert that’s both delicious and satisfying, these 4-ingredient coconut chocolate chip truffles are the perfect solution. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, you can whip up these bite-sized treats that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you need a last-minute dessert or a sweet snack, this recipe is a game-changer.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 cup (80g) shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened, depending on preference)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
- Extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder (for coating, optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Combine the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate chips. Stir until the mixture is well combined and holds together. The condensed milk acts as the binder, while the coconut and chocolate chips add texture and flavor.
2. Shape the Truffles
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly wet your hands to make rolling easier. Aim for truffles that are about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Coat the Truffles (Optional)
For an extra touch, roll the truffles in additional shredded coconut or cocoa powder. This step is optional but adds a nice finishing touch and enhances the flavor.
4. Chill the Truffles
Place the truffles on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 15-20 minutes to firm up. Chilling helps the truffles hold their shape and makes them easier to handle.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Once chilled, your coconut chocolate chip truffles are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips for Perfect Truffles:
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet treat, use unsweetened shredded coconut and dark chocolate chips.
- Add Variations: Experiment with different coatings, such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, or melted chocolate drizzle, for a fun twist.
- Quick Fix: If you’re in a hurry, skip the chilling step and enjoy the truffles right away—they’ll be softer but just as delicious.

These 4-ingredient coconut chocolate chip truffles are the ultimate easy dessert for anyone with a sweet tooth. With minimal effort and maximum flavor, they’re perfect for satisfying cravings or impressing guests.
