Preparing the chocolate: Start by melting the white chocolate in a double boiler. Make sure not to burn it; stir occasionally to achieve a smooth consistency. 2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the milk powder, powdered sugar, 50 g grated coconut, soft butter, coconut cream, and coconut milk. Use a mixer on medium speed to achieve a creamy mixture. 3. Adding the chocolate: Once the white chocolate has melted, add it to the mixture and mix well until combined. 4. Cooling the mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, until the mixture is firm enough to be shaped. 5. Shaping the candies: With wet hands, form small balls from the mixture, adding a roasted hazelnut in the center of each ball. 6. Decorating: Roll each candy in the remaining 50 g of grated coconut, ensuring they are well coated. Preparation of Night Candies 1. Preparing the almonds: Place the almonds in a small blender and blend until they become like a paste. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little orange juice to help it become creamy. 2. Adding the ingredients: Add the honey and mix well, then incorporate the melted dark chocolate. 3. Cooling the mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator to harden. 4. Shaping the candies: When the mixture is firm, use a teaspoon to scoop portions and shape them into balls with wet hands. 5. Decorating: Roll each candy in cocoa powder, ensuring they are evenly coated. Notes and Tips for a Perfect Result - Coconut cream: This forms on the surface of coconut milk. You can use it all or add more coconut milk, depending on the desired consistency. - Storing the candies: It is essential to keep the candies cold before consuming them to avoid them being too soft. - Variations: You can experiment by adding different types of nuts or essences (e.g., vanilla or almond) to the candy mixture to give them a unique flavor. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate? - Yes, but the taste will be sweeter. Adjust the amount of honey accordingly. 2. What other ingredients can I add to diversify the flavor? - You can try adding orange essence, Brazil nuts, or even chili flakes for a spicy kick. 3. How can I store the candies? - Keep the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they can stay fresh for 1-2 weeks.
