COCONUT BONBONS



Coconut Bonbons image

This frozen bonbon offers an exciting contrast between crisp dark chocolate and the icy coconut sorbet.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
2 pints coconut sorbet
12 whole almonds
26 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack over a baking pan. Arrange the wafers, top sides down, on rack, spaced evenly apart. Place 2 teaspoons shredded coconut in the center of each wafer. Using a 2-inch ice-cream scoop, scoop a ball of coconut sorbet onto each wafer. Place an almond on top of each scoop of sorbet. Transfer pan to freezer for 20 minutes.
  • In a double boiler, or a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Melt chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from heat. Let cool slightly.
  • Remove baking pan from freezer. Generously ladle melted chocolate over the bonbons, covering entirely. Return the baking pan to the freezer for 30 minutes more or overnight. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use full-fat coconut milk. This will give your bonbons a rich, creamy flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the coconut mixture. It should be thick and creamy, but not too dry.
  • Chill the coconut mixture thoroughly before shaping it into balls. This will help the bonbons hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Chopped nuts, grated chocolate, and shredded coconut are all great options.
  • Store the bonbons in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Creamy coconut bonbons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, these bonbons are sure to be a hit. Give them a try today and see for yourself how delicious they are!
