Coconut Truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 x 250g pkt Woolworths Select Dark Chocolate, finely chopped
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) thickened cream
  • 1-2 tbs rum or brandy
  • 150g dark chocolate melts, melted
  • 130g (2 cups) shredded coconut

Method

  1. Place the chopped chocolate in a glass or ceramic bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until just boiling. Pour the cream over the chocolate. Stir gently until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Stir in the rum or brandy. Cover and set aside for 2-3 hours or until firm.
  3. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of the chocolate mixture into balls. Place on the lined tray. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm.
  4. Melt the chocolate melts following packet directions. Place the coconut on a large plate. Dip 1 truffle into the chocolate, then roll the truffle in the coconut to coat. Place on the lined tray. Repeat with remaining truffles. Set aside until set.
