How to Make It

Let’s transform these ingredients into tasty truffles.

Prepare the Mango Purée

Scoop out the pulp from 2 ripe mangoes. Blend into a smooth purée and measure 1 cup. Set aside.

Toast the Coconut

In a nonstick pan over low heat, dry roast 1 cup of desiccated coconut for 1 minute to enhance the flavor.

Cook the Mixture

Add the mango purée and condensed milk to the toasted coconut. Stir well and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens into a soft dough-like consistency that starts to pull away from the pan.

Shape the Truffles

Let the mixture cool slightly until safe to handle. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into smooth balls.

Coat & Store

Roll each ball in extra desiccated coconut for a beautiful finish. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

How to Store It

Fridge: store for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
Freezer: no, truffles can lose texture.
Reheat: not necessary, serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the mangoes are ripe for maximum sweetness.
