These Whole Almond Stuffed Truffles are full of sweetened coconut and whole almonds for a wonderful sweet treat. These truffles include only three ingredients, making it an affordable treat to make. They make a decadent sweet treat or dessert with the texture of shredded coconut and the sweet richness of sweetened condensed milk.

To make the almond stuffed truffles, you start by mixing the coconut with the condensed milk until combined. Then, the coconut mixture gets divided into truffles and stuffed with whole almonds. Finally, they are rolled in extra coconut for an attractive coating. These truffles are soft and chewy with a sweet coconut taste that is sure to please all coconut lovers.

What are Almond Stuffed Truffles?

These almond stuffed truffles are round truffle-sized confections consisting of shredded coconut, condensed milk, and whole almonds. Normally, truffles include a filling of chocolate ganache and a chocolate coating, but these almond coconut truffles are a little different since they don’t contain any chocolate. However, similar to chocolate truffles, they have a round shape that is reminiscent of the truffle fungus.

Pro Tips

  • Make sure you thoroughly mix the coconut with the condensed milk so that it becomes a homogenous mixture.
  • If you find that your mixture is too wet, you can add extra coconut so you can achieve the correct consistency.
  • For added flavor, feel free to toast the coconut and almonds before using them in this recipe.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to shape the truffles into equal-sized portions.

What to Serve with Almond Stuffed Truffles?

These almond stuffed truffles can be served on their own with coffee  tea, or alongside other confections like peanut brittle or homemade chocolate.

Should I Use Unsweetened or Sweetened Coconut?

Since the condensed milk is sweetened, unsweetened is preferable for this recipe. However, if all you have is sweetened coconut, you can use that in a pinch.

Can I Use Evaporated Milk Instead of Condensed Milk?

It isn’t ideal to use evaporated milk in this recipe as it doesn’t have any sugar in it and has a looser texture. The thick sticky nature of condensed milk is what is needed to bind the coconut together for these truffles.

What Can I Do if the Coconut Mixture is Too Dry?

If your coconut mixture seems too dry and won’t bind into truffles, you can add extra condensed milk to the mixture until you achieve the correct consistency.

How to Store Almond Stuffed Truffles

The almond stuffed truffles are best stored in the fridge to help them hold their shape. Simply place them in an airtight container in the fridge where they should stay fresh for several weeks.
