These pretty, delicious Raspberry Coconut Truffles are the perfect treat for a loved one and a lot easier to make than they look. Gluten, dairy and refined sugar-free.
- 120 ml canned coconut milk (½ cup)
- 120 g desiccated coconut (1½ cups)
- 2 tbsp rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil - softened
- 12 frozen raspberries
- 100 g dark chocolate -melted or raw chocolate (recipe here)
Combine the coconut milk, coconut, sweetener and coconut oil by hand or in a food processor until well combined. If using a Thermomix blend 10 seconds, reverse speed 3. The mixture should be moist but hold together when pressed.
Press the coconut mixture firmly around the frozen raspberry and place on a tray or plate lined with baking paper.
Place on a baking tray or baking sheet lined with baking paper and pop in the freezer for 15 minutes or more.
Whilst they are freezing, make some raw chocolate (recipe here) or melt regular dark chocolate by breaking it up and placing it in a ceramic or glass bowl sitting on top of a pot of just boiled water. Stir until it's melted. Remove the coconut covered raspberries from the freezer and coat in the chocolate (use two forks to move the truffles around in the chocolate to coat them).
Place back on the tray and pop back in the freezer for 5 minutes until set.
Dunk again for a second coating of chocolate. If using raw chocolate, mix it well again in case it has begun to separate and dunk them again so they should be well coated.
Store
Set and store in the freezer until you are ready to gobble them up.
If using the raw chocolate to coat - as with any raw chocolate treat, these will melt and fall apart at room temperature. For a more stable treat, coat them in melted dark chocolate.
