Step 1
1. Place the shortbread cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
2. Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and mix with a spatula or your hands until fully combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Step 3
3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
4. While the truffles chill, unwrap the caramels and place them in a small saucepan with the heavy cream. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
Step 5
5. Spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring once, until golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Step 6
6. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted caramel, letting excess drip off. Immediately roll in the toasted coconut to coat completely.
Step 7
7. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and refrigerate for another 10 minutes to set the caramel.
