Ingredients
To make this delicious recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the truffle balls, start by melting the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Once melted, add the heavy cream and stir until the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until firm.
Once the balls are firm, you can serve them as-is, or you can dip them in melted chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!
Equipment
To make this recipe, you will need the following equipment:
- Double boiler
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
- Spatula
Notes
When melting the chocolate chips, be sure to use low heat and stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning. Be sure to let the mixture cool completely before rolling into balls, or the truffles may not hold their shape.
For a more indulgent treat, you can dip the truffle balls in melted white chocolate and top with shredded coconut. You can also use different types of chocolate, such as dark or milk chocolate, or add in different flavors like peanut butter or mint.
