Raspberry White Chocolate Coconut Bites Dessert Recipes

Ingredients for the Raspberry Stuffed White Chocolate Coconut Truffles

Makes about 15-20  truffles:

• 15-20 raspberries (a small box about 170g), fresh or frozen (thaw them at room temperature)
• 10 ounces (300g) high-quality white chocolate chips
• Zest of 1 untreated lime, finely grated
• 2/5 cup (10cl) of liquid cream or sour cream
• 1-inch knob (2.5cm) of fresh grated ginger
• 2/3 cup (50g) of shredded coconut

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine cream, ginger and grated lime zest. Heat up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate chips and stir well using a wooden spoon (metallic spoons tend to mess up chocolate). Put into the microwave again for 30 seconds more and stir until chocolate is completely melted. The consistency should be smooth and homogeneous. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until set (about 1 hour).

2. Scoop out little balls of chocolate with 2 teaspoons or a small mellon baller. Dip into shredded coconut to coat on all sides, this will prevent the truffles from being too sticky. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for about 15 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.

3. Flatten a chocolate ball and gently enclose a raspberry into chocolate. Form a ball then roll the truffle in the coconut topping one more time. Proceed with all the raspberry truffles and chill until ready to serve.

Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes Dessert Recipes

Ingredients list for the chocolate fondant

Makes 10:

• 3 1/2 oz (100g) dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• 1 stick (110g) butter, plus for greasing
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (40g) all-purpose flour, unsifted
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa + for dusting
• 20 raspberries

Directions

1. Pre-heat your oven to 410°F (210°C). Melt chocolate and butter in the microwave. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined and smooth.

2. Brush thoroughly the inside of muffin molds with butter, then dust with cocoa.

3. Using an electric mixer, whisk together the eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt until pale and foamy. The mixture should almost double in volume. Gently fold in the melted chocolate and butter, and then the flour and cocoa powder.

4. Spoon into the prepared muffin pan, stopping just below the edge. Insert two raspberries in the center and cover with the chocolate batter.

5. Transfer onto a baking tray and bake for 8-12 minutes at 410°F (210°C) until the tops are set and coming away from the sides of the cavities. Verify with a toothpick, the center must still be runny. Allow to rest for 30 secs, then serve on individual dessert plates with a sprinkle of castor sugar.

Notes: You must beat eggs and sugar for quite a long time to get that moussey texture. Check the cakes in the oven, make sure they don’t overcook.
