👨‍🍳 Method

For the Ganache

  1. 1
    Finely chop the chocolate and put it in a bowl.
    KnifeCutting boardBowl
  2. 2
    Heat the cream until just about to boil and pour over the chocolate. Wait a minute without touching.
    StoveSmall saucepan
  3. 3
    Stir gently from the center outward, until you get a smooth, glossy cream.
    💡Stir gently from the center outward: vigorous stirring beats in air, and the ganache loses its shine.
  4. 4
    Add the butter and vanilla and stir until the butter melts.

To assemble

  1. 5
    Chill the ganache in the fridge 3–4 hours, until solid.
    Refrigerator
  2. 6
    Mix the coconut with the powdered sugar on a plate.
  3. 7
    Shape the ganache into the size of a teaspoon balls.
    💡Work fast: the ganache softens from the heat of your hands and turns runny.
  4. 8
    Roll each ball in the cocoa mixture until completely coated.
  5. 9
    Return the balls to the fridge for 1 hour.
