Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar into a large bowl. Add the sweetened coconut, almonds and condensed milk. Stir to combine.
- Remove a heaping tablespoon of the coconut mixture and use the palms of your hands to roll it into a ball about 1 1/4 inches in diameter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining coconut mixture. Refrigerate the truffles until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the white chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave on 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the shortening to combine.
- Add the unsweetened coconut to a small bowl. Dip a truffle into the melted chocolate to coat completely, then use 2 forks to lift it out, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. Place the truffle in the unsweetened coconut and roll to coat, then return to the baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set, about 20 minutes. Repeat to coat the remaining truffles.
- Enjoy immediately or store the truffles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality quinoa: Look for quinoa that is organic and non-GMO. This will ensure that your truffles are made with the best possible ingredients.
- Cook the quinoa perfectly: The quinoa should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If the quinoa is overcooked, it will be too mushy for truffles.
- Use a good quality coconut milk: Look for coconut milk that is unsweetened and has a high fat content. This will help to give your truffles a rich and creamy texture.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: You can add a variety of different flavors to your truffles, such as vanilla, chocolate, or nuts. Get creative and have fun!
- Truffles are best enjoyed fresh: However, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To store, place the truffles in an airtight container and keep them in the coldest part of the refrigerator.

Quinoa coconut truffles are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give quinoa coconut truffles a try!
