Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped white chocolate, divided
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus more for coating

For coating

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Place 2 cups of chopped white chocolate and coconut cream in a medium heat-proof bowl. Carefully microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it using a double boiler on the stove, stirring occasionally. Stir in ¾ cup shredded coconut until distributed. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or until firm.
  • Once firm, place 1/2 cup shredded coconut in a small bowl. Take the chocolate mixture out of the fridge. Use a small ice cream scoop, melon baller, or spoon to scoop out small sections and form them into balls with your hands.
  • Roll each ball in coconut and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up quickly or store in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

  • The truffle mixture will be a bit soft and sticky when rolling it into balls, but will become easier to handle once you coat the truffles in the shredded coconut. They'll also firm up once you store them in the fridge.
  • If the truffle mixture becomes too soft, you can place it back in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to make it less sticky and easier to form into balls.
  • These coconut truffles will firm up when stored in the fridge, so you may wish to leave them at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to allow them to soften up a bit.
