Ingredients
7 ounces sweetened shredded coconut (toasted for extra crunch)
14-ounce can dulce de leche (or melted caramel candies)
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
14-ounce box Nilla Wafer cookies, crushed (about 3 cups)
16 ounces dark chocolate wafers or chips for dipping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 10–15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden. Let cool.
2. In a large bowl, mix crushed Nilla Wafers, dulce de leche, sweetened condensed milk, and most of the toasted coconut until sticky and well combined.
3. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto a parchment-lined sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each. Dip the bottom of each truffle in chocolate, then drizzle remaining chocolate over the tops.
5. Sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut. Refrigerate until set, then store in an airtight container.
Notes
Toasting the coconut adds the best flavor and crunch—don’t skip it.
If the mixture feels too sticky to roll, chill it for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
Store truffles refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
