Let's begin the new year on a sweet note, shall we?
What You're Gonna Need:
White Chocolate 500 g
Low fat Cream 1/4th cup
Unsalted butter
Unsweetened Coconut Flakes 250 g
Cashews/Almonds
Orange zest
Vanilla extract/essence (optional)
What You're Gonna Do:
Break the chocolate into small chunks and set aside. (Try not to eat it up?)
Dry roast whole cashews/almonds and let them cool.
Make a double boiler using a heavy bottomed pan and a heat-resistant bowl that fits well over the pan. Fill the pan up to 1/4th in height with plain water, place it over medium flame and fit the glass bowl on top. Make sure the water creates enough steam to heat the bowl.
Add the chunks of chocolate, unsalted butter and cream to the glass bowl. Leave for 2 minutes or so until its all melted. Remove from heat. Stir to mix. Zest in some orange and add a few drop of vanilla essence. Combine.
Let it cool a little, now add 3/4th of the coconut flakes, incorporate everything well. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Remove from fridge, scoop out dollops of the mixture, press the center to create an indentation, add the one roasted whole nut of your choice and form into a sphere. Butter your hands before doing this.
Roll in coconut flakes. Chill until firm. Serve to your loved ones, just like I did. Here's a tiny glimpse of the wrappers I packed them in:
