Ingredients (And Why They Work So Well)

You Only Need:

1 cup mango purée – Use ripe mangoes like Alphonso or Ataulfo for the best sweetness and color. This is the main flavor, so go for juicy, soft ones.

1 cup desiccated coconut (+ extra for rolling) – Adds texture, bite, and makes them look pretty too.

½ cup sweetened condensed milk – Binds everything together and adds that rich, fudgy feel.

That’s it. No butter, no flour, no sugar needed.

Instructions – Let’s Make Mango Magic

Step 1: Make the Mango Purée

Cut and scoop the pulp from 2 ripe mangoes.

Blend until smooth. You should get about 1 cup.

Step 2: Toast the Coconut

In a nonstick pan, dry roast 1 cup of desiccated coconut for 1 minute over low heat.
This brings out a light, nutty flavor. Don’t skip it!

Step 3: Cook the Mixture

Add mango purée and condensed milk to the toasted coconut in the same pan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5–7 minutes, until the mix thickens and starts to come away from the sides.
It should feel like soft dough. You’ll see it thicken quickly—don’t leave it alone!

Step 4: Shape the Truffles

Let it cool down enough to touch.

Scoop about 1 tablespoon and roll into smooth little balls.
If it sticks, grease your hands with a bit of oil or butter.

Step 5: Coat & Chill

Roll the truffles in extra coconut to coat.

Place in an airtight container.

Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes (or eat them warm if you can’t wait!).

Cooking Tips & Techniques

Use very ripe mangoes—they’re sweeter and make smoother purée.

Want a little twist? Add a pinch of cardamom or a drop of vanilla extract.

If it’s humid or your mix is too sticky, chill before rolling.

You can even shape them into mini bars instead of balls.
