Easy Two Ingredient Chocolate Truffles with Coconut Cream

Description

Creamy, smooth and super chocolatey, these two ingredient chocolate truffles are a chocolate lovers dream.

Simple to make for a daily treat yet decadent enough to make a batch for the holiday dessert tray.

Ingredients

Units Scale

12 ounces of Chocolate Chips
One 15 ounce can of Cream of Coconut

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Pour your chocolate chips into a stainless steel mixing bowl.
Boil one 15 ounce can of Cream of Coconut then pour the boiling cream into your bowl of chocolate chips.
Mix together into a smooth chocolate sauce.
Place your bowl in the freezer uncovered until the chocolate is set, about 2 hours.
Remove from freezer and scoop into truffle balls, then roll in your favorite topping. I like to use a mini cookie scooper for this.
Place your homemade truffles back in the freezer until ready to serve. These do not get hard in the freezer they remain soft due to the coconut cream. If you want a firmer truffle that does not have to be frozen you can use 7 1/2 ounces of coconut cream with 8 ounces of chocolate chips.

Notes

Here are some ideas for toppings and fillings. If you are making a batch of Holiday truffles for an adult party try adding 2-3 ounces of Kahlua, Bailey's Irish cream, RumChata or just a splash of rum. For the non drinkers and kids you can roll the chocolate truffles in:

Crushed Nuts
Candied Sprinkles
Cocoa Powder for some lovely Cocoa Powder Truffles
Caramel and Sea Salt for Salted Caramel Truffles
Cereal for the kids
Bacon Bits
Coconut Flakes
You can even infuse some caramel or jelly into the center of your truffles for a surprise burst of flavor..
