Truffle Royale

Makes about 2 dozen small truffles

Anne Cryderman
Ingredients
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
4 squares semi-sweet chocolate (use Bakers chocolate)
2 tablespoons sugar

Coating:
3/4-cup chocolate or vanilla wafer crumbs
Tinted or roasted coconut

Instructions
Combine cream, butter and sugar.  Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add vanilla and chocolate. Stir until melted. Chill mixture until firm enough to handle (about 3 hours). Drop by teaspoonful and shape into balls.
Coating: Roll each ball into water crumbs or coconut.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or in the freezer.

Hint: One container of whipping cream is one cup. Therefore, you can easily triple the recipe if you need more truffles or make larger truffles.

Note: To toast coconut place the coconut on a cookie sheet and place in the oven. Stir and bake until golden. If you place the coconut under the broiler to toast, be careful not to burn the coconut.
