White Chocolate Macadamia Coconut Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Finely grind white chocolate in a food processor and transfer to a bowl. Pulse nuts in food processor until finely ground (be careful not to grind to a paste).
• Bring cream to a simmer in a medium skillet. Remove from heat and stir in rum. Whisk in white chocolate until melted and ganache is smooth. Stir in nuts. Pour ganache into a plastic-wrap-lined 8-inch square baking pan and chill, uncovered, until firm, about 4 hours.
• Invert ganache onto a work surface and remove plastic wrap. Cut ganache into 64 squares and roll each piece between your palms to form a ball. When all balls are formed, roll in coconut to cover completely, then chill truffles, covered, until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place the chocolate and cream in a medium heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water (make sure bowl doesn't touch the water). Stir with a metal spoon until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool.
• Cover and place in the fridge for 6 hours or until the mixture is firm.
• Place the coconut on a plate. Press half a macadamia nut into a teaspoon of the truffle mixture and roll to form a ball. Roll the truffle in the coconut to coat. Repeat with the remaining nuts and truffle mixture. Cover and store in the fridge.
