Frequently Asked Questions
How fine should the shredded coconut be for the best texture?
For the best texture in your coconut truffles, use finely shredded, unsweetened coconut flakes. This allows the ingredients to bind together smoothly, creating a creamy consistency. If you only have larger flakes, you can pulse them briefly in a food processor or blender to achieve a finer texture.
Do the truffles need to be chilled before serving?
Yes, chilling the truffles for at least two hours is essential. This step allows them to firm up, making them less sticky and easier to handle. Chilling also helps the flavors meld together, resulting in a more delicious and cohesive bite. For the best experience, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.

The best flavor of Jubes depends on your personal preference! Lychee, Mango, Grape and Strawberry Jubes are popular choices as their fruity notes pair wonderfully with coconut.
