Coconut Brownie Truffles (No-Bake and 5 Ingredients Only!)

These easy Coconut Brownie Truffles only include five ingredients that you may have in your kitchen already. Coconut flour and hazelnut paste make up the interior of the truffles for a decadent truffle filling that is perfect for those who love anything with chocolate. These make a wonderful dessert when you want something small to finish off a meal. The process of making these truffles is so easy that even your kids could help. To begin, you mix the hazelnut paste with the coconut flour and honey, and then divide that mixture into small balls. Then, the truffles must chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you proceed to the next step. Next, they are coated in melted chocolate and garnished with a sprinkle of flaky. The flaky salt is essential because it pushes the flavor of the decadent coconut brownie truffles over the top.

What are Coconut Brownie Truffles?

Chocolate truffles may have French origins although many countries make them in their unique way. For example, while French chocolate truffles include a ganache filling that is hand-rolled into balls, Swiss truffles are poured into molds to set. The ingredients can vary as well. French and Swiss truffles both include chocolate and cream, but Spanish truffles comprise condensed milk, dark chocolate, rum, and chocolate sprinkles. These coconut brownies truffles are a little different as they include hazelnut cream and coconut in the filling rather than chocolate and cream.

Chocolate truffles are inspired by the appearance of truffles, a fungus that is used in savory dishes in both French and Italian cuisine. Often, they are rolled cocoa powder, sprinkles, nuts, or shredded coconut after being dipped in chocolate.

Pro Tips

• Sift the coconut flour to ensure it is completely smooth.
• Feel free to replace the honey with maple syrup if preferred or if you would like to suit vegan diets.
• To melt the chocolate, place it in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water and stir it until it is melted. Alternatively, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it until melted and smooth, stirring it every 20 to 30 seconds.
• Dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate are the best choices for the coating in these truffles as they are decadent and have a depth of flavor compared to other types of chocolate.
• Feel free to garnish the coconut brownie truffles with shredded coconut or chopped hazelnuts to amplify those flavors.
• For the prettiest appearance, once the truffles are dipped in the chocolate, place them on a metal rack set over a parchment-lined baking sheet so the excess chocolate can drip off rather than pooling around the bases of the truffles.

What to Serve with Coconut Brownie Truffles?

You can serve these coconut brownie truffles just as they are on a pretty platter. All that you need is a hot beverage such as strong tea or coffee to cut through their richness.

Can I Replace the Coconut Flour with Almond Flour?

Unfortunately, almond flour wouldn’t be a good replacement for the coconut flour in this truffle recipe as it doesn’t absorb as well as coconut flour. If you would prefer to use almond flour in this coconut brownie truffle recipe, you would need to add a lot more almond flour to ensure it binds with the hazelnut cream correctly.

Are These Chocolate Truffles Vegan?

These truffles are not vegan as they include honey. However, if you would like to make sure these are suitable for a vegan diet, simply replace the honey with maple syrup and ensure that the chocolate you use doesn’t include any animal products.

Can I Coat the Truffles in White Chocolate?

Yes, you definitely can! If you prefer a white chocolate coating rather than a coating of dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, you could coat them with melted white chocolate instead. Just make sure you use a high-quality white chocolate for the best results.
