Snowmen Chocolate Truffles with Coconut
Adorable snowmen chocolate truffles with coconut, perfect for children. These homemade truffles are not only delicious, but are also easy and fun to make!
Ingredients
Chocolate Truffles
- 200 g white chocolate (28% cocoa) (1 ¼ cups)
- 60 g heavy (double) cream (¼ cup)
- 40 g milk powder (⅓ cup)
- 50 g shredded coconut (½ cup)
- pinch of salt
- 12 roasted hazelnuts
Decorations
- shredded coconut
- chocolate buttons*
- chocolate cups*
- sprinkles
- fondant
Instructions
- In a glass bowl, add the chopped white chocolate and double cream. Microwave for 20 seconds, then mix with a spatula to help the chocolate melt. Use the microwave again in small bursts of 5-10 seconds, mixing well after each time.
- Once the chocolate is fully melted, add the milk powder, salt and shredded coconut. Mix well with a spatula to combine. Cover the bowl with cling film, then place in the fridge for minimum 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
- When the mixture is set, scoop up some chocolate with a teaspoon and put a hazelnut in the middle. Roll between your palms to make a sphere. Do not handle it too much, as this will make the chocolate very oily and soft. Roll in more shredded coconut to make it look like a snowball. We need two different sizes of snowballs: one larger for the base and one smaller for the head.
- Use some melted white chocolate to attach the smaller ball to the base. Let set in the fridge for 20 minutes, so they can set properly. Now we can start decorating!
- To make the hat, glue a mini cup onto a chocolate button. Decorate with sprinkles or edible snowflakes. Making the nose is easy: simply paint a sunflower seed with edible orange paint. Let dry before using.
- When decorating the snowman, place the sunflower seed as the nose. Use some melted candy buttons/dark chocolate or black royal icing to pipe on the eyes and mouth. Use a small strip of fondant for the scarf and secure it with some melted chocolate. Add the chocolate hat with chocolate, then add any sprinkles as desired.
- Leave the snowmen to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- I recommend using a kitchen scale in grams for more accuracy. The cups used for the conversion are standard US customary cups (1 cup flour = 136g). There are many different types of cups across the globe, which is why I strongly recommend using grams instead.
- Storing - keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
