📝 Preparation Steps
1
Beat butter with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and salt and mix until crumbly.
2
Add extracts and 2 tablespoons coconut cream, mixing until thick and smooth, adding up to 2 additional tablespoons of cream of coconut. If you're using a stand mixer it might come together with 2-3 tablespoons. If you're using a hand mixer you might need up to 4 tablespoons. Stir in coconut.
½ teaspoon coconut extract-4 tablespoons cream of coconut (i.e. Coco Real, see note)3shredded coconut1 cupToasted Coconut (, optional, for topping)
3
Drop tablespoon sized balls on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet and roll into uniform balls. Chill for at least ⏱️ 1 hour in the refrigerator or ⏱️ 30 minutes in the freezer before dipping. You can wrap the cookie sheet plastic wrap and chill overnight, if needed.
4
When ready to dip, melt candy melts according to package directions. Dip each ball into the melts, tapping off the excess, and place on a new cookie sheet lined with wax paper. (If your truffles start to get soft, pop them in the freezer for a few minutes before continuing.) Sprinkle with sprinkles or coconut, if desired.
