Instructions

Melt the Chocolate

Melt the chocolate compound in a double boiler. To create a double boiler, place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.

Combine the Cream Mixture

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the heavy cream and coconut milk. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine Chocolate and Cream

Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the chocolate, whisking constantly until fully combined and smooth.

Incorporate Coconut and Cornflour

Add the shredded coconut and cornflour to the chocolate mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined. If the mixture is too runny, add more cornflour, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a firm but pliable consistency.

Chill and Shape

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up completely.

Roll into Truffles

Once chilled, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls.

Decorate and Serve

Roll the truffles in cocoa powder and/or your desired decorative sprinkles. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
