Ingredients

• 300 grams White chocolate chips
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 25 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 100 grams Desiccated coconut
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 200 grams Additional white chocolate (for coating)
• 50 grams Additional desiccated coconut (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

In a heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter.

Step 2

Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and melt the ingredients together, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.

Step 3

Remove the bowl from heat and mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the desiccated coconut and powdered sugar to create a thick, smooth mixture.

Step 5

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Once all the truffle centers are shaped, refrigerate them for 30 minutes to firm them up further.

Step 8

Melt the additional white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or using a microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.

Step 9

Using a fork or chocolate-dipping tool, dip each truffle center into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 10

While the coating is still wet, sprinkle or roll the truffle in additional desiccated coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Step 11

Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy these zesty, creamy, and coconutty delights as a sweet treat or gift!
