Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the German chocolate cake according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely.
-
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the crumbled cake. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Using your hands, roll the cake mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
-
Remove the cake balls from the fridge. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the truffle back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
-
Once all the truffles are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the fridge to allow the chocolate to set for about 15-20 minutes.
-
For an extra decorative touch, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the set truffles and top with additional shredded coconut or pecan pieces.
-
Once the chocolate has hardened, your German Chocolate Cake Truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
