Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked carrots, mashed (ensure they’re soft for smooth blending)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- Zest of 1 orange (optional for extra citrusy flavor)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Optional Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, try using coconut condensed milk. Adjust the sweetness by substituting powdered sugar with finely ground stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Carrot Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed carrots, sweetened condensed milk, and orange zest. Stir well until all ingredients are blended smoothly, ensuring no lumps.
Step 2: Incorporate the Coconut
Gradually add desiccated coconut to the carrot mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a soft, dough-like consistency. If it feels sticky, add a bit more coconut.
Step 3: Shape the Truffles
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. This recipe should yield around 12-15 truffles, depending on the size of each ball.
Step 4: Coat with Powdered Sugar
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the sugar, coating evenly to give a lightly sweetened outer layer. For an extra touch, you can also roll them in more desiccated coconut.
Step 5: Chill and Set
Arrange the truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up. Once they’re set, serve and enjoy these vibrant, flavorful bites!

- Adjust the Sweetness: Taste the mixture before forming the truffles and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more condensed milk or a hint of honey.
- Customize the Coating: Instead of powdered sugar, try coating these truffles with crushed nuts, cocoa powder, or more coconut for added texture and flavor.
- Ensure Proper Consistency: If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more coconut or refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before shaping.
