Cherry Ripe Truffles

Easy, no-bake chocolate truffles with maraschino cherries and coconut, perfect for holiday gifting or parties.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes (includes chilling)
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 180g glace cherries (half finely chopped, half blitzed)
  • 2 tablespoons condensed milk
  • 150g dark chocolate (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, blitz half the glace cherries until finely chopped. Roughly chop the remaining cherries.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, all the cherries (both blitzed and chopped), and condensed milk. Mix until well combined.
  3. Roll the mixture into small balls and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  5. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and return to the fridge to set the chocolate. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate for a rich flavor. If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill it briefly before shaping. These truffles can be made ahead and stored for up to a week.
