Easy No Bake Coconut Truffles

I love coconut. I feel like it has such a tropical flavor that always makes me feel like I am on vacation.

With that said, I love treating myself to foods that make me feel like I am on vacation!

You'll need a few simple ingredients, one of them being coconut butter. Now, this isn't the same thing as coconut oil, and it won't work as a substitute. Coconut butter is made from actual coconut meat. You can make it yourself by blending shredded coconut for like 15 minutes until it becomes a butter consistency, but I tried it once, and it didn't work. Or maybe I didn't have enough patience for it...

Coconut butter is an ingredient that can be a tiny bit pricy if you get it at Whole Foods but I found mine on Amazon for about $12 a jar. It'll last you a few years honestly. Other uses for coconut butter include putting a spoon in your coffee, tea, matcha, or lattes. It makes for the creamiest drink.

So trust me, you'll use it a ton. And if you don't want to add it to your coffee then just make this coconut truffle recipe 100x!

Ok, now for the recipe!
