Chocolate coconut truffles are not only an extremely delicious recipe, they’re also really fun to make because you can really experiment and play with different flavors and ingredients. There are so many options that you can try to make this recipe original and up to your taste. For example, if you don’t want t o go the ginger and orange route, you can add fresh mint, ground black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, lime or lemon zest. Heavenly and guilt-free!
