Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cream
- 14 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups coconut, toasted and finely ground
Directions
Put the white chocolate in a large bowl.
Add the heavy cream to a heavy-bottomed saucepan and warm it over very low heat. Put the white chocolate into a bowl and pour in the hot cream. Whisk until all of the chocolate has melted. Add the butter and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate the ganache for about 1 to 2 hours, just enough to be able to form it into balls.
Use a tablespoon or small scoop to measure even amounts of ganache into small balls. Put the balls on a parchment or silicone mat lined sheet tray. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up before the next step.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler (or a microwave). Dip each ball in the melted chocolate (2 forks make it easier to fish out dipped chocolate balls). Put the coconut into a medium bowl and add the ganache balls. Toss to cover them in the coconut, then put them on a wire rack over a parchment lined tray to dry. Allow the truffles to set for about 10 minutes before devouring.

Seriously all this recipe was melting chocolate and forming them into balls. And then dipping them in milk chocolate. You could just buy regular chocolate and just eat it. You dont have to add cream and all those stuff. It was a big waste of time. But the white chocolate part was really creamy. I would never make this recipe again!

This was very light and delicious. yes it was u have to make sure u chill the chocolate. and work with it quickly. So it wont be so sweet, i shopped around for coconut that did not have extra added sugar. Usually grocery stores sell sweetened coconut went to a local market that sell natural coconut flakesand chopped it up to be finer peices. mmmm that made just right.
