Dark Chocolate Almond Joy Truffles Filled with Toasted Almonds and Coconut

Print Recipe

Dark Chocolate Almond Joy Truffles are rich, bite-sized treats made with a sweet coconut filling, toasted almonds, and a smooth dark chocolate coating. Inspired by the classic candy bar, these no-bake truffles are perfect for holiday platters or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 24 whole almonds, toasted
  • 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped (or dark chocolate chips)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and sticky.
  2. Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Press a toasted almond into the center of each and reshape to cover the almond.
  3. Place formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  4. Meanwhile, melt dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on parchment paper.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle with extra shredded coconut or crushed almonds before the chocolate sets.
  7. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15–20 minutes.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • To toast almonds, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
