Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use unsweetened coconut flakes for a more natural and less sweet flavor.
• If the mixture is too sticky to roll into balls, you can refrigerate it for a longer period of time to firm it up.
• For a variation, you can roll the truffles in crushed almonds or coconut flakes before refrigerating them.

Storage and Serving

• Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Serve the truffles chilled for the best texture and flavor.
• These truffles make a great homemade gift or a sweet treat for parties and gatherings.
