The coconut truffles with only 3 ingredients are delicious finger foods, quick sweets to make! You need few and simple ingredients: coconut flour, condensed milk, and butter. They are ideal to accompany coffee or an afternoon tea with friends.

Have you already tried the pistachio truffles or the coconut and Nutella truffles? To enjoy them best, serve them cold from the refrigerator, perhaps placed in paper cups. With my quantities, I made about 15 truffles: one leads to another, you’ll never have enough; so make a double batch!
