Description

These Snowball Truffles are soft, creamy, and coated in coconut flakes — a festive, no-bake treat that looks like tiny snowballs! Perfect for holiday gifts or cozy winter desserts, they combine the sweetness of white chocolate with the tropical flavor and texture of shredded coconut for an irresistible bite-sized dessert.

Ingredients

Truffle Mixture

  • 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt

Coating

  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, divided

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the finely chopped white chocolate, heavy cream, and unsalted butter to prepare the base for the truffles.
  2. Heat gently: Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, ensuring the chocolate does not burn.
  3. Flavor and chill: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before refrigerating it for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  4. Shape the truffles: Using a spoon or scoop, take small portions of the chilled mixture and roll them between your palms to form 1-inch diameter balls.
  5. Coat in coconut: Roll each truffle ball thoroughly in the shredded coconut until fully covered, providing a snowy coating and texture contrast.
  6. Chill again: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to allow them to set firmly.
  7. Serve: Enjoy these delicious truffles chilled from the fridge or at room temperature, perfect for gifting or festive treats.

Notes

  • For a flavor twist, add a few drops of almond extract or rum extract before chilling the mixture.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
  • You can use desiccated coconut instead of shredded coconut for a finer, more delicate coating texture.
