Let’s roll up our sleeves and create the creamiest coconut truffles you’ve ever tasted — keto-style.

Ingredients

For the Keto Coconut Truffles

• 1½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• ¼ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Optional Coatings

• Extra shredded coconut
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Crushed keto nuts

Why these ingredients work:
Unsweetened coconut keeps the recipe low-carb, cream cheese adds richness, coconut oil helps the truffles firm up beautifully, and powdered sweetener ensures a silky-smooth texture.

Recipe Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Hand mixer or sturdy spoon
• Rubber spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small cookie scoop
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Base

In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, melted coconut oil, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy — the mixture should look glossy and silky.

2. Add the Coconut

Fold in shredded coconut using a spatula until evenly distributed. The mixture will thicken into a soft, scoopable dough with visible coconut flakes.

3. Chill to Firm

Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes so the mixture firms up enough to roll without sticking.

4. Roll into Truffles

Using a small scoop or spoon, portion the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls between your palms.

5. Coat and Finish

Roll each truffle in coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for extra texture and visual appeal.

6. Final Chill

Arrange truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate another 10 minutes before serving.

Ingredient Notes

• Shredded Coconut: Use unsweetened only — sweetened versions add unnecessary sugar.
• Sweetener: Powdered works best for smoothness; granulated can feel gritty.
• Coconut Oil: Helps truffles firm but melts quickly at room temp, so keep chilled.
• Cream Cheese: Full-fat provides the richest flavor and creamiest bite.

Pro Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add lemon zest or a drop of coconut extract to the mixture. Chocolate lovers can dip truffles in melted sugar-free chocolate for a candy-shop vibe. Want texture? Stir chopped almonds or macadamia nuts into the dough before rolling. These truffles are perfect for making ahead — just keep them cold so they hold their shape. You can even freeze them for quick grab-and-go treats during busy weeks. Let them sit out two minutes before eating for the best creamy texture.

Serving Suggestions

• Arrange on a dessert platter for parties
• Pack in lunchboxes for a sweet bite
• Gift in decorative boxes
• Pair with coffee or iced tea

Storage Information

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months
• Tip: Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking
