Description
A simple chocolate treat that somehow feels a bit fancy without the effort. These come together with just a few ingredients, but the texture is what really wins you over.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups: approx – 200 g good-quality chocolate, chopped
- 0.8 cups: approx – 200 ml fresh cream
- 1/2 cup toasted nuts (almonds, pistachios), finely chopped
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Add the 200 g chopped chocolate and 200 ml fresh cream to a small saucepan.
- Place over low heat and let it warm gently, stirring now and then so it doesn’t catch at the bottom.
- Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and whisk until the mixture turns smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened.
- Let the ganache cool at room temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Then transfer to the fridge and chill for 1 to 2 hours until it’s firm but still scoopable. If it goes too hard, leave it out for a few minutes to soften.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the chilled ganache and roll them into small balls by hand.
- Roll each truffle in the ½ cup toasted nuts or ½ cup desiccated coconut until coated. Press gently so it sticks.
- Place on a tray and chill again for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up before serving.
Useful tips
- Can I use milk chocolate instead? Yes, but reduce the cream slightly
- Why is my ganache runny? It likely needs more chilling
- Why is it grainy? It was overheated

Thank you so much. Add a nut in the centre of a caramel and its even more yummy. 😉
you are making me crave sweets!
Try it. Very easy.
I’ll add these to our holiday treat list.
I can make you some, mail it, but as sure as eggs do become scrambled eggs, I think it will not be wise to mail them, so you will unfortunately have to make it on your end. Enjoy 😉
I’m going to rely on my wife’s baking abilities. lol
No need to bake it. Melt it, let it cool down and roll in balls and voila all done.
Voila…Danny made a mess. lol
😉
Delish! 🙂
Thank you. Enjoy
What is super easy recipe-and just in time for the holidays! Thanks so much!
Hi Misty, Thank you for following my blog, and popping in. Yes, I still need to make this myself, and it will form part of my Christmas gift boxes. Super yummy with a nut inside or with candy cane bits on the outside.
Yum! I bet homemade caramels on the inside would be delicious as well!
WOW – thanks for another great idea
