Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the pistachio nuts and place them in a bowl.
- Place the dried coconut meat in a food processor and pulse until finely shredded. Set aside in a separate bowl.
- Break the white chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Set up a double boiler by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Heat the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer, then remove it from the heat.
- Pour the hot cream over the melted white chocolate and stir gently until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the ganache. Roll each portion into a ball between your hands.
- Roll each truffle first in the chopped pistachios, pressing gently so the nuts adhere well.
- Then roll the truffles in the shredded coconut, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Place the coated truffles on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 30 minutes to let them set fully.
- Serve the white chocolate pistachio truffles chilled or at room temperature.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Finely chop the pistachio nuts and dried coconut meat to ensure an even distribution throughout the truffles.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll into balls, chill it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes until it firms up.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the pistachio nuts before chopping them.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh for longer.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of white chocolate slightly and add a touch more pistachios or coconut.
