have some coconut delight!


Ingredients:
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup creamy white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 12-15 whole blanched almonds
- Extra shredded coconut for rolling
Instructions:
- Heat Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Melt Chocolate: Add the white chocolate to the hot cream. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
- Cool Mixture: Stir in 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Form Truffles: Once the mixture is firm, take about a tablespoon of it and flatten it in your hand. Place an almond in the center and gently roll it into a ball.
- Coat: Roll the truffle in the remaining shredded coconut to coat it evenly.
- Chill: Place the truffles on a plate and refrigerate until set.
