Preparation
Kitchen utensils
2 Pots, 1 Bowl, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Small knife, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Peeler, 1 Fine-mesh sieve, 1 Slotted spoon, 1 Lid, 1 Food processor
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the cream and coconut in a pan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, cover tightly and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
2.
Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water. Remove from the heat.
3.
Bring the coconut cream to a simmer and pour into hot melted chocolate. Whisk until smooth and incorporated.
4.
Add the butter and coconut extract and whisk until smooth. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
5.
Put the icing sugar in a shallow bowl, and dust your hands lightly with the sugar.
6.
Use a teaspoon to form small balls from the mixture. Roll into balls. If the mixture becomes too soft to roll, return to the refrigerator to firm up. Place on non-stick baking paper.
7.
Melt the plain chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water. Stir until smooth.
8.
Using a cocktail stick or fork, dip the balls in the melted chocolate and place on non-stick baking paper. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and leave to set.
