Ingredients:
- 10 oz (285 g) White Chocolate Chips or Wafers
- 7 oz (198 g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 cup Finely Shredded Coconut (for base)
- 20-24 Whole Blanched Almonds (for centre)
- 1 cup Extra Finely Shredded Coconut (for coating)
Instructions:
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Ensure all your ingredients, especially the whole almonds, are ready for assembly.
- Gently melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until completely smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent seizing.
- Once smooth, immediately stir the condensed milk into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is fully incorporated and uniform.
- Gently fold in the first measure of shredded coconut (1 cup) until it is evenly distributed throughout the white chocolate base mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for a minimum of 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to handle without sticking excessively to your hands.
- Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the chilled base. Flatten it in your palm, place one whole blanched almond in the centre, and carefully roll the mixture around it to form a tight, uniform ball.
- Immediately roll each freshly formed ball thoroughly in the reserved coating coconut until it is completely covered with a snowy finish.
- Place the finished truffles back onto the lined baking sheet. Return them to the refrigerator for a final chill of at least 1 hour to ensure they are perfectly firm before serving.
