Ingredients of Coconut Truffles

- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 gm white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 tablespoon coconut flake
How to make Coconut Truffles
Step 1 Melt the white chocolate and whipping cream
Roughly chop the white chocolate and add it to a bowl along with whipping cream. Use the double boiler method to melt it. In this method, fill a pot halfway with water and keep it on high flame and let it come to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, place the bowl with white chocolate on the pot. Make sure the bowl fits perfectly on the pot and not float in it. Now keep the flame low-medium and let the white chocolate melt completely.
Step 2 Add butter
Now add butter to the bowl and give a mix. Let it melt as well. Give a good mix and once a smooth mixture is formed, take it off the heat.
Step 3 Add coconut powder
Now add coconut powder to the melted chocolate along with vanilla extract. Use a spatula or spoon to mix and make a thick mixture.
Step 4 Let the mixture chill
Let the mixture cool down a bit. Now cover it with a lid or cling film and slide it in the freezer for a few hours. 2-3 hours is enough for the mixture to hold shape.
Step 5 Make truffles
Take out the mixture from the freezer. Scoop out small portions from the mixture using a spoon and roll between your hands to make balls. Roll these balls in coconut flakes to coat them from all sides.
Step 6 Ready to be served
Your Coconut Truffles are now ready to be served. Enjoy!
