Servings: 16

Yield: 16 truffles

Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups shredded coconut

½ cup confectioners' sugar
3 ½ ounces ricotta cheese
16 almonds whole almonds

2 ½ (1 ounce) squares white chocolate
2 ⅔ tablespoons heavy cream
¼ cup shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/3 cups shredded coconut, sugar,

and ricotta cheese to form a dough-like texture. Divide into 16
portions. Roll each portion into a ball, pressing one almond each into
the center of each; cool in freezer for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Place the white chocolate in a large stainless steel bowl and set over
a saucepan of barely simmering water to melt. While the chocolate is

melting, stir in the heavy cream. Use a toothpick or fork to dip the
truffles in the chocolate mixture. Arrange coated truffles on a platter.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup coconut over the truffles while the chocolate is still

melted. Cool in refrigerator until the chocolate coating solidifies.
