Ingredients
- 7 oz (200g) cottage cheese
- 3 tbsp (60g) honey
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
- 3.5 oz (100g) unsweetened shredded coconut , finely shredded
- zest of ½ lemon or lime , optional
For Rolling
- unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Transfer the cottage cheese to a food processor.
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy. This step is important for a truffle-like texture with no graininess.
- Add the honey, vanilla extract, salt, and citrus zest (if using) to the blended cottage cheese.
- Blend again until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture looks silky and uniform.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the desiccated coconut.
- Stir until the mixture becomes thick and holds its shape when scooped with a spoon.
- Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the mixture firms up enough to be easily rolled without sticking too much to your hands.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut, using lightly damp hands if needed.
- Roll each truffle in extra coconut until evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for another 15 minutes to help the truffles set before serving.
