Ingredients

Scale

Truffle

  • 225 grams White Chocolate
  • 75 grams Cream

Coating

  • 200 grams White Chocolate
  • 40 grams Desiccated Coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ganache: Melt 225 grams of white chocolate and 75 grams of cream together in short bursts using a microwave, stirring between sessions until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Chill Ganache: Pour the ganache mixture into a bowl and refrigerate it for 1 hour to set firm.
  3. Shape Truffles: Once set, remove the ganache from the fridge. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll the chilled ganache into approximately 20 balls, each about 15 grams, and place them evenly on the parchment paper.
  4. Firm Up Truffles: Place the rolled balls back in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up further.
  5. Melt Coating Chocolate: Melt 200 grams of white chocolate in short bursts in the microwave until smooth and melted, ready for dipping.
  6. Dip Truffles: Using a fork, dip each ganache ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper on the tray.
  7. Chill After Coating: Refrigerate the chocolate-dipped truffles for about 30 minutes until the coating is firm.
  8. Final Coat and Coconut Decoration: Remelt any remaining chocolate if necessary. Wearing gloves, lightly coat the outside of each truffle with a thin layer of the melted chocolate just enough to stick coconut.
  9. Apply Desiccated Coconut: Roll each truffle in the 40 grams of desiccated coconut until they are fully coated.
  10. Final Chill: Place the coconut-coated truffles back in the fridge to set completely, approximately 30 minutes.
  11. Storage and Serving: Store the finished truffles in the fridge for best results, or keep them at room temperature if you prefer a softer center. Package for gifts or enjoy them yourself!

Notes

  • Use good quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the ganache is fully chilled before shaping to avoid sticky hands.
  • If the chocolate hardens too much while dipping, gently reheat it in short bursts to maintain a smooth consistency.
  • Wearing gloves during the final coating step helps keep the truffles neat and prevents melting from hand warmth.
  • Truffles can be stored refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
  • Allow truffles to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer, creamier texture.
