Our Hawaiian Pineapple Coconut Truffles recipe is just the escape you need, blending creamy coconut with juicy pineapple for a little bite of Hawaiian sunshine. These truffles are a breeze to make and perfect for anyone who loves tropical flavors and easy, no-bake treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk – Provides a creamy, rich texture.
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned) – Adds authentic tropical sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped pineapple (optional) – For a burst of juicy pineapple flavor.
  • 1 cup shredded coconut – The base that gives these truffles their unique texture.
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted – Adds a touch of luxury and creaminess.
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract – Complements the coconut and pineapple beautifully.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
  • Extra shredded coconut – For rolling the truffles, giving them a beautiful finish.

Ingredient Tips: You can substitute shredded coconut with unsweetened coconut for a less sweet version. Additionally, you can use coconut milk for a stronger coconut flavor.

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, pineapple juice, optional chopped pineapple, melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth.

Step 2: Gradually add the shredded coconut, mixing until you achieve a firm, dough-like consistency. If the mixture feels too soft, add more shredded coconut until it holds shape when rolled.

Step 3: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls. Use your hands to shape them evenly.

Step 4: Roll each truffle in additional shredded coconut, coating them fully for a snowball-like appearance.

Step 5: Arrange the truffles on a parchment-lined tray, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh pineapple juice offers a more authentic flavor than canned.
  • Customize the Texture – For a chunkier bite, add chopped nuts like macadamias or even more pineapple.
  • Coating Variety – Roll the truffles in toasted coconut or even crushed macadamia nuts for added texture.
