for everybody out here who love coconut here they come - Coconut truffles, so smooth, delicious, melt in your mouth dessert with coconut coating. They are easy to make at home. You don't need many ingredients, the basic are cream, coconut and chocolate and the rest depends on your preferences like, vanilla, orange peel and hazelnuts.
It is very important the chocolate you choose, it has to be a good quality one that is made with cocoa butter. You also have to be careful not to boil the water while you melt the chocolate over bain-marie, you have to make it at low heat as white chocolate is more heat sensitive than the dark one.
There are many ways you can make coconut truffles, with condensed milk, or milk powder and butter but I prefer the smooth texture and taste you get using white chocolate.
It is a perfect elegant dessert for a dinner in two, or for holiday tables or any other gatherings and a perfect homemade gift idea. Everybody will love these, there is no doubt about that.
