Finely chop the white chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Add the butter and coconut oil (if using) to the bowl and gently stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract, chopped macadamia nuts, and 100 grams of desiccated coconut. Stir until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into small balls with your hands.
Place the extra desiccated coconut on a plate. Roll each truffle in the coconut until completely coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to set fully before serving.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
