INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt 1 pound of chocolate, slowly stirring, in a double boiler. Warm
the cream in a large saucepan but do not scorch. Remove the chocolate
from the heat, cool slightly, then combine with the heavy cream. Stir
the butter into the chocolate-cream mixture and refrigerate until
firm but still pliable, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chocolate to a
pastry bag fitted with a large straight tip and pipe into
teaspoon-size mounds onto a waxed paper covered cookie sheet, or use
a spoon to dole out teaspoon-size mounds. Refrigerate the entire pan
until the chocolate is hard to the touch. When the chocolate is
sufficiently firm (this can be done a day or 2 ahead) remove the
chocolate from the refrigerator and, working quickly to prevent
melting, roll the chocolate mounds into balls, then chill the balls
again until firm. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade,
pulse the coconut briefly to make it a little finer so that it will
adhere better to the truffles. When firm, roll each truffle in the
coconut, pressing firmly to make sure the coconut sticks. At this
point you can refrigerate the truffles for as much as a day, until
you are ready to dip them. Melt the remaining chocolate in the double
boiler. Remove the double boiler from the heat and using a wire
dipping spoon, or a regular teaspoon and your hands in latex gloves,
dip each coconut covered truffle briefly into the melted chocolate.
Place on a cake rack set over a cookie sheet until dry, and
refrigerate until firm. You may scrape up any chocolate that has
dripped on the cookie sheet and return it to the dipping pot for more
dipping. The truffles will keep for several weeks if refrigerated in
a covered container. This recipe yields 70 to 75 truffles.
