Chop the white chocolate into small, even pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low to medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Avoid boiling.
Add the butter to the hot cream and stir until it is fully melted.
Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the orange zest, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Place the shredded coconut in a shallow dish.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the truffle mixture and roll it into smooth balls with your hands.
Roll each truffle in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
Place the finished truffles on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
