Yield Makes 64 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 oz Lindt white chocolate
1 cup salted dry-roasted macadamia nuts (5 oz)
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 1/2 cups finely shredded unsweetened desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Finely grind white chocolate in a food processor and transfer to a bowl. Pulse nuts in food processor until finely ground (be careful not to grind to a paste).
  • Bring cream to a simmer in a medium skillet. Remove from heat and stir in rum. Whisk in white chocolate until melted and ganache is smooth. Stir in nuts. Pour ganache into a plastic-wrap-lined 8-inch square baking pan and chill, uncovered, until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Invert ganache onto a work surface and remove plastic wrap. Cut ganache into 64 squares and roll each piece between your palms to form a ball. When all balls are formed, roll in coconut to cover completely, then chill truffles, covered, until ready to serve.

These truffles are delicious! They're the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy. I'll definitely be making these again.

These truffles are a bit too rich for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try making them with dark chocolate next time.

These truffles are a great way to use up leftover coconut and macadamia nuts. They're also a fun and easy project to do with kids.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these truffles. The macadamia nuts and chocolate balance out the coconut flavor perfectly.

I was disappointed with these truffles. They were very dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These truffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
