These no bake easy ricotta and coconut truffles are the perfect quick treat or snack, loved by big and small, so yum and guilt-free!

It’s a 3 ingredients dessert, 4 ingredients if you make the chocolate version! I like to divide the dough in two parts and make both plain and chocolate!😋

This was one of my favourite childhood treats, my mum used to make them all the time and now it’s one of my kids’ favourite snack too!

  Google dictionary states another word/definition is "DRIED".

  It’s the dried, finely shredded flesh of the coconut, very easy to find xx

  Desiccated coconut is finely ground coconut, rather than bigger strips. This is also usually drier than shredded coconut. Can be found sweetened or unsweetened.
