Crunchy Coated Chocolate Truffles
- 2/3 cup light cream
- 1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 graham cracker boards
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
- In a small saucepan, heat the light cream over medium-low heat until it comes to a simmer.
- Divide the chocolate chips equally into 2 bowls and evenly pour the hot cream between the 2 bowls.
- Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Add cinnamon to 1 of the bowls of melted chocolate.
- Place a spoon or ice pop stick into the bowl with the cinnamon so that you can differentiate it when you scoop them out.
- Put the ganache into the refrigerator until it firms up, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- In the meantime, place the graham cracker boards in a food storage bag and crush with your hands to make crumbs.
- Put the crumbs and the toasted coconut on separate flat plates.
- Remove the ganache from the refrigerator.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the ganache into the toppings.
- The cinnamon flavored chocolate goes into the graham cracker crumbs and the plain chocolate goes into the coconut.
- Roll them around to coat and form small balls.
- Work quickly to prevent the chocolate from melting.
- Transfer to a sheet pan and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
- Place on a plate and serve.
