Make the coconut filling
In a bowl, mix desiccated coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla until well combined. The mixture should be moist and firm.

Chill
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
Melt the chocolate
Melt chocolate with oil or butter using a double boiler or microwave (in short bursts), stirring until smooth.
Coat the truffles
Dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Decorate
Place on a large tray and sprinkle coconut flakes on top before the chocolate sets.
Set & serve
Chill again for 10–15 minutes until chocolate hardens.
