Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams white chocolate
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons white rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 50 grams desiccated coconut
Instructions
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 begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Gently stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Add the unsalted butter, white rum, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, stirring until the butter has melted and all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into small balls with your hands. Work quickly to prevent the truffles from melting.
Roll each truffle in powdered sugar or desiccated coconut, coating them evenly.
Place the finished truffles on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the truffles for an additional hour to firm them up before serving.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
