RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Melting Chocolate in Microwave:

1. Add white chocolate and whipping cream to a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Microwave the chocolate at high for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir. Microwave it again for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir again. (You can microwave for 30 seconds more if the chocolate is not completely melted after stirring.)

» Melting Chocolate in a Double Boiler:

1. Add 1 cup of water to a medium saucepan or pot and bring to a very gentle simmer.
2. Place a heat-proof bowl on top of the pan while making sure that the water doesn?t touch the bowl.
3. Stir occasionally with a spatula until smooth and melted.
4. Remove the bowl from the heat. (If the chocolate starts to become too hard, just put the bowl back over the simmering water.)

» Making White Chocolate Coconut Truffles:

2. Stir well until combined.
3. Let it cool completely. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours or until firm.
4. Take the chocolate mixture out of the fridge and unwrap the bowl.
5. Scoop out small sections and form them into balls, adding a nut inside.
6. Roll each ball in coconut.
7. Refrigerate until firm.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Truffles can be frozen for up to a month. When you want to eat leave them in the fridge overnight to thaw.
2. For making White Chocolate Coconut Truffles recipe, I have used desiccated coconut. Unsweetened shredded coconut helps in balancing out the already sweet white chocolate. However, you can substitute desiccated coconut with Unsweetened shredded coconut, or small flaked coconut.
3. If you want to add a little booze to these truffles, then you can surely add about 2 Tbsp coconut liqueur, or coconut flavored tequila, coconut rum.
4. I used microwave method for melting white chocolate here. So if you are also going for microwave method, then melt the chocolate carefully. Don?t put chocolate in microwave on high heat for a long time. Microwave the chocolate at high for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir. Microwave it again for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir again. (You can microwave for 30 seconds more if the chocolate is not completely melted after stirring.)
