What can I use if I don't have xylitol for the truffles?

The recipe suggests replacing xylitol with coconut sugar or your favorite alternative sweetener, ensuring the truffles maintain their desired sweetness.

Is there a specific type of coconut recommended for this recipe?

The recipe calls for desiccated coconut and coconut cream for the truffle base, and melted coconut oil for both the truffles and the chocolate coating.

How long do these chocolate truffles need to set?

The truffle mixture first needs to be placed in the freezer to set, and after being rolled and coated, they require about one hour in the fridge to firm up completely.

Can I prepare the chocolate coating ahead of time?

The chocolate coating, made from melted coconut oil, sweetener, and cacao, can be prepared while the truffle mixture is in the freezer and set aside until ready to use.
