This 4 ingredient easy coconut truffles are a great healthy snack. They are rolled in small sizes which helps your dessert portioning/moderate eating. It’s vegan, sugar and gluten free. 

ABOUT THE RECIPE 

This is made with just 4 ingredients. The sweetness comes from sugar free condensed coconut milk. I used salted plant based butter for this. If using unsalted add a tiny pinch of salt. Salt enhances the sweetness from coconut flakes. 

Toasted coconut for coating helps enhance coconut flavor. The aroma while toasting will engulf your kitchen.
