Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ⅓ cups shredded coconut
½ cup confectioners' sugar
3 ½ ounces ricotta cheese
16 whole almonds
2 ½ (1 ounce) squares white chocolate
2 ⅔ tablespoons heavy cream
¼ cup shredded coconut

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.

I think these truffles would be even better if you used dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.

I had a hard time finding peppermint extract, but I finally found it at a specialty grocery store.
