*Festive Klaxon* THERE’S ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO FESTIVE FOOD LOVING FRIENDS!
If you’re anything like me, the frenzy of kitchen activity will be in full swing right about now. It’s a little different here this year though, I have two small extra pairs of hands keen to get involved in everything going on. My tiny two are desperate to get stuck in and these little truffles are perfect for a rainy afternoon make. VERY messy, but loads of fun.
In need of more festive food treats…look no further:
- Super simple Christmas themed Rocky Road
- A show stopper of a cheesecake
- My “famous” Puff Pastry Mince Pies – Just 4 Ingredients
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. I’d love to know how you got on and what you thought of it if you make this recipe. Please rate the recipe using the ⭐️ by the recipe.
Also, if you’d like to show me a photo by tagging me on Instagram (@tamingtwins) I LOVE to see your creations.
How to make Chocolate Snowball Truffles:
Chocolate Snowball Truffles
Chocolate Snowball Truffles - Perfect Christmas make for children to help with. These make a great rainy day activity, and are fab to give as gifts! Simple, coconut winter truffles!
Ingredients
- 300 g Double cream
- 300 g Dark chocolate
- 300 g Desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Heat the cream in a pan until a bubble or two appear around the outside of the pan.
- Meanwhile chop the chocolate into very small pieces (I'm lazy so I tend to do this in the food processor).
- Put the chocolate into a bowl and pour over the hot cream.
- Leave to stand for 2 or 3 minutes and then stir until totally combined and smooth.
- Put the mixture in the fridge for about 3 hours until very solid.
- Pour the coconut out onto a dinner plate.
- Using 2 teaspoons, scoop up small spoonfuls and then push off the spoon with the other one. Roll in your hands until a ball is formed, roll the sticky balls in the coconut.
- Store in the fridge until serving.

Oh these are adorable!! Low in sugar too!
Oh bab these look amazing! Again and fantastic shots! xxx
I love homemade truffles, I’ve not tried making them with the boys as they tend to get fussy if their hands get all sticky, I should get them to help sometime and see how it goes.
Happy Christmas xx
First of all these are so adorable!!! I love the dessicated coconut coating they look so snowy. Almost too good to eat. Almost…
Also thank you to both you and Kerry for hosting #Festivefoodfriday I’ve really enjoyed taking part I’m sad it’s over so soon!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Your snowball truffles are such a great idea! I must make these!
There would be such a gap in my blog reading without your food posts. I love them! These look absolutely lush! x
Oh gosh! I love truffles like that! They normally get made in this house as gifts this time of year but this year I don’t trust myself! I can’t eat them but if I make them I may well sneak some…so sadly nobody will get them this year! Instead I will be making some healthier truffles!
Lovely and so impressive to give as gifts!
Ooh yum! I can really imagine the youngsters being keen to help with this bake especially with all of that delicious chocolate – chocolate faces all around I guess 🙂
