Raw White Chocolate Truffles with Coconut 3 Ways

I have a sweet tooth. I am not even going to try to pretend I don’t. Just check out the dessert section! I envy people who say, I don’t really care about dessert because for me, a meal just doesn’t feel complete until I have that little pop of sweet at the end.

The funny thing is it doesn’t have to be a big sweet finish, like a piece of cake, or pie. That is almost always too much. Ice cream, on the other hand, is always welcome.

It is always those little cravings that lead me into a new recipe journey. Knowing that I wanted to have that little sweet treat, but wanting it to be made from healthy ingredients (not white sugar, processed chocolate, etc.) I put together this recipe for raw white chocolate truffles. The best part is that at one point in the recipe you can divide up the mixture and flavor it how ever you want!

I actually did three different truffles from the batch. Each has a base of raw white cacao butter and coconut. I left the first third alone (to emphasize the white chocolate flavor). To the second third, I added organic peppermint extract and to the last third, I added organic almond extract.

Dipping them in a batch of raw chocolate was the frosting on the cake. The thin layer gives you just enough chocolate tast without overwhelming the truffles. Be warned, you will have extra chocolate. But we can always find something to do with extra chocolate, can’t we?

A quick note: The dough is a little tricky to work with if you want to make balls. You need to squeeze it into ball shape… transferring from hand to hand a few times to get it to hold. If you don’t want to putz with this step, just press the mixture into a parchment lined glass pan and pat it down firmly. After chilling, you can easily cut it into squares and dip in the chocolate.

    Susan, I don’t see in the instructions where to add the unsweetened dried coconut. Does it get mixed into the melted cacao butter? Thanks! 🙂

    putz around:
    Inf. to fiddle around; to mess around.

    (There is more than one definition, apparently.) 🙂

    “If you don’t want to putz with this step”…… Lol. You probably don’t know that word is Yiddish for a certain part of the male anatomy. Then again, you were making balls. Close, but no cigar.

    Looks good. I use a mug warmer to melt cocoa butter, etc. super easy.

    Susan, I was wondering, could we freeze these after we make them to always have something around ? just a thought.

      I have not tried freezing this so can’t give you an opinion. Honestly, they will last quite a while so I don’t know that you need to freeze them. Cheers!
