Snowball Truffles Recipes

SNOWBALL TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Pour the cream into a saucepan and bring just up to the boil. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour over the boiling cream, then stir until the chocolate and cream are well blended and smooth. Cool, then set aside in the fridge until the mixture is solid, about 2 hrs.
• Scoop out teaspoons of the mixture and roll into small walnut-size balls with your hands. Sprinkle the coconut onto a plate and roll the truffle in the coconut until evenly covered. Will keep in a cool place for 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

SNOWBALL TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Pulse cashews and coconut in a food processor until finely ground. Add chocolate; pulse just to combine.
• In a small saucepan, heat cream with salt until simmering. Pour hot cream mixture into food processor; pulse until well combined and chocolate is melted. Transfer mixture to a shallow bowl and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour and, covered in plastic, up to 2 days.
• Scoop chilled mixture, 2 teaspoons at a time (use a 1 3/8-inch or other small scoop, if you have one), onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Roll into balls. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Place more coconut in a shallow dish. Place some of melted chocolate in the palm of your hand; roll a truffle in the melted chocolate to generously coat, then roll in coconut, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate 1 hour, then transfer to an airtight container, stacking truffles no more than 2 to 3 high, and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature just before serving.

SNOWBALL TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a bowl, add and heat the cream, butter, extract and 8 ounces of the white chocolate in microwave at medium power at 30-second intervals. Make sure to stir in-between intervals to avoid scorching. Continue on 30-second intervals, stirring in-between until chocolate is smooth and melted. Fold in the sifted powdered sugar. Cover bowl and pop it into the refrigerator for about 1 1/2 hours.
• Place a cooling rack over 1 baking sheet. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the inside of another baking sheet. Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave. Take out the cooled and semi-hardened truffle mixture. Using a tablespoon, scoop out enough to make a ball, about 1- ounce in size. Lay the ball onto the rack. Continue the process until all of the truffle mixture is gone. You should have about 16 truffles.
• Using a pastry brush, "paint" on the melted chocolate and place on the parchment covered cookie sheet. Designate a hand to use only for the sprinkling of coconut. Before moving onto painting the next truffle, use your "sprinkle hand" to decorate the truffle. Continue alternating between painting and sprinkling until you are done. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
