Coconut Truffles

Sick of truffles yet?

To be honest, I never tried this truffle. This was the last one I made and after tasting all the others, I couldn't take any more. They looked pretty though! Hope they were good...

Coconut Truffles
1lb dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/3c heavy cream
5T coconut milk
1/2T vanilla extract
1lb milk chocolate, for tempering
3/4c toasted coconut

Place cream and coconut milk in saucepan. Add vanilla and simmer.
Sprinkle over chopped chocolate.
Let sit, covered, 5 mins, then stir with spatula until smooth.
Allow to sit overnight until hardened.
Roll into balls and place on parchment-lined sheet in refrigerator while tempering remaining chocolate.
Dip in tempered chocolate, tap off excess, then let cool on parchment-lined sheet.
Sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
