Each sweet has a smooth, bright yellow outer layer covered with a fine coating of white shredded coconut flakes, giving a textured look. The sweets sit in dark brown pleated paper cups, which contrast with the bright yellow treats. The sweets’ yellow part looks soft and slightly shiny, while the coconut flakes add a light, fluffy texture on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mango purée (from approximately 2 ripe mangoes)
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the mango purée by scooping out the pulp from 2 ripe mangoes. Blend it into a smooth purée and measure 1 cup. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Toast 1 cup of desiccated coconut in a nonstick pan over low heat for about 1 minute to enhance its flavor.
  3. Step 3: Add the mango purée and sweetened condensed milk to the toasted coconut. Stir well and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a soft dough-like consistency that starts to pull away from the pan.
  4. Step 4: Let the mixture cool slightly until it is safe to handle. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into smooth balls.
  5. Step 5: Roll each ball in extra desiccated coconut to coat. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon to the mixture while cooking.
  • You can substitute fresh mango purée with frozen mango chunks blended until smooth if fresh mangoes are not available.
  • Try rolling the truffles in crushed pistachios or cocoa powder for a different coating.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to serve, you can let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. These truffles do not freeze well as their texture may change.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use canned mango purée instead of fresh mangoes?

Yes, canned mango purée can be used as a convenient alternative. Just ensure it is pure mango without added sugar or preservatives.

How do I know when the mixture is ready to shape?

The mixture is ready when it thickens to a soft dough-like consistency that starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when rolled into balls.
