Experience the delightful taste of Samoas Truffles, a homemade version of the beloved cookie, no Girl Scout Cookies required! These truffles perfectly capture the essence of the classic treat and are surprisingly simple to prepare.
Ingredients
7ozsweetened shredded coconut
14oz candulce de leche
14oz cansweetened condensed milk
11oz boxNilla Wafer cookiescrushed
24ozchocolate almond bark
Instructions
In a medium to large pan, toast the shredded coconut over medium heat. Stir frequently to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
In a large bowl, combine the toasted coconut, dulce de leche, sweetened condensed milk, and crushed cookie crumbs. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture, shape it into a ball, and place it on the prepared sheet. Continue with the remaining mixture. Freeze the shaped truffles for 30 minutes to an hour to firm up.
Melt the chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip the bottom of each truffle into the melted chocolate and return to the parchment paper.
After dipping, transfer the remaining melted chocolate to a ziplock bag and snip off a tiny corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the truffles for a decorative finish. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
Storage: Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Drizzling Alternative: Instead of using a bag, a fork can be used for drizzling chocolate over the truffles for an artistic touch. Cookie Crushing: A food processor is a quick and efficient way to crush the cookies to the perfect consistency.
