These super simple coconut truffles are a perfect (extremely) low sugar, gluten and dairy free, vegan snack. Make a big batch and chill or freeze to keep on hand for easy snacks. Filling, rich, delicious. Low carb, paleo.
In a bowl, mix the desiccated coconut with the coconut oil and cream (or milk). Add stevia, if using. Take heaped teaspoons of the mixture and shape into balls. Place on a lined baking tray and place in the freezer for 3-4 minutes until hardened slightly. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave until almost completely melted (should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute), then stir until everything is melted and smooth. Dip the coconut balls into the chocolate with a fork, or pour the chocolate over them on the tray to cover all of them. It should harden on contact, but if it doesn't, place back in the freezer for another minute. Serve chilled, and keep in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for longer.
