Cream cheese and almond meal are the base of these soft bite-size truffles.
Superb for those that do not enjoy chocolate-based treats, but still want that hit on their sweet palate.
Exquisite bites for the lover of coconut.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 and 1/2 cups of powdered (icing) sugar
1/4 cup (56.7 grams) of warm melted butter
1/2 cup (150 grams) of softened cream cheese
4 teaspoons of strawberry essence
1 and 1/2 cups of almond meal
And an extra 1/2 cup of powdered (icing) sugar
To Make:
Combine all ingredients except the almond meal in a bowl and mix well.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until thickened.
Mix in the almond meal and extra measurement of powdered sugar.
Now for the messy bit!
Place spoonfuls of the mixture into a bowl of powdered sugar and form into small balls by patting them into shape and rolling gently in the powdered sugar.
Place the balls on a powdered sugar-covered platter... using a sieve sprinkle more on tops.
Add some heart-shaped sprinkles.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
The yield is 25 balls.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
