Ingredients

  • 60 ml Sweet cream

  • 200 g chocolate, dark

  • 15 g Butter, unsalted

  • 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, imitation

  • 30 g Coconut, flakes

  • 20 pieces Nuts, almonds, blanched

  • 30 g Coconut, flakes

Steps

  1. Break (or chop) the white chocolate into pieces and place them in a bowl.

  2. Pour the sweet cream into a saucepan and slowly heat it over medium heat. Just before it boils, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate in the bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cream to penetrate the chocolate pieces. Then, mix everything well with a whisk or spatula until you get a smooth chocolate mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract and butter. It's important to mix the ingredients without whipping to avoid incorporating air into the mixture.

  3. Next, mix the coconut flour into the chocolate mixture. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover the bowl and refrigerate for a few hours until the mixture is completely cooled and firm.

  4. Use a spoon to scoop the cooled mixture from the bowl and shape it into balls with your hands, placing a blanched almond in the center of each ball. Roll the balls in coconut flakes and place them on a plate or tray. Serve the dessert immediately or store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
