Snowballs

I've cheated and started with the preparations for christmas already, starting of with these delicious white chocolate truffles. I usually don't start of with the preparations this early, but this year I had to start early. The reason is that we will be going abroad for two weeks now in december, and it's impossible to miss two weeks of preparation before Christmas. Though I can not exactly say that it is something that, in itself, concerns me a lot, sun and heat is a welcome thing right now.

Snowballs

½ cup of cream

200g white chocolate

2 1/4 cups shredded coconut (plus extra for garnish)

1 lime

 

Chop the chocolate roughly. Bring the cream to a boil, then add the chocolate. Let it melt during stirring. Stir in coconut and finely grated zest of lime. Let cool in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours. Roll small balls of the batter and sprinkle with coconut.
