Ingredients

300 g Double cream Or heavy or rich cream
300 g Dark chocolate Good quality if possible
300 g Desiccated coconut Optional

Metric - Imperial

Instructions

Heat the cream in a pan until a bubble or two appears around the outside of the pan.
Meanwhile, chop the chocolate into very small pieces. You can use a food processor for this if you like.
Put the chocolate into a bowl and pour over the hot cream.
Leave to stand for 2 or 3 minutes and then stir until totally combined and smooth.
Put the mixture in the fridge for about 3 hours until very solid.
Pour the coconut out onto a dinner plate.
Using 2 teaspoons, scoop up small spoonfuls and then push off the spoon with the other one. Using very clean hands, roll until a ball is formed. Then roll the sticky balls in the coconut.
Store in the fridge until serving.

Notes

Double cream: It’s best to use double cream for this, or if you’re outside of the UK, heavy cream or rich cream

Dark chocolate: I use my favourite Callebaut chocolate for this recipe. This chocolate is just amazing. It melts so well and really makes a difference to any recipe. Good quality chocolate makes all the difference here

Desiccated coconut: This is what gives them a ‘snowball’ effect and adds something to the flavour, but it’s fine to leave it out if you aren’t a fan

Storing: Store these in the fridge until ready to serve, or until you give them to someone. They should last up to 1-2 weeks (if they last that long!)

Gifting: I like to gift these truffles at Christmas packaged in these cellophane gift bags. With a bit of ribbon, they look lovely
