Macadamia Coconut Truffles

This a recipe I pull out most Christmas’ to have during the festive season or make them for gifts – been making these for nearly 10 years!  You can leave out the alcohol for a kid friendly version and no reason why you couldn’t make them year round.

Ingredients:

100g macadamia nuts

1 cup desiccated coconut – check sulphites – buy organic

400g good-quality dark chocolate broken into squares (I love Organic Times dark chocolate which I buy at Vive – https://www.vivehealth.com.au/Vive-Bulk-Organic-Times-Dark-Chocolate-Chunks-500g-1kg-3kg.html)

140ml coconut cream

100g cranberries, chopped (optional)

2 tablespoons Kahlua (or more if you want more a kick)

Coconut for rolling or leave plain

1. Preheat oven to 180C.  Line a baking tray with baking paper.  Spread nuts over the tray and bake fo 506 minutes or until golden.  Process in a food processor until finely chopped.
2. Spread coconut over tray.  Bake for 2-3 minutes or until golden.  Set aside.
3. Place chocolate and coconut cream into a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.  Stir until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth.  Remove from heat, add nuts, coconut, cranberries and Khalua.  Mix well.
4. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm enough to shape into balls.
5. Roll mixture into balls and either roll in coconut or any other coating of your choice or leave plain
6. Keep in the fridge in an airtight container
