White Chocolate, Coconut, and Limoncello Truffles Recipe

There is no way to describe this summer picnic recipe --or all-year-long recipe-- except "divine." (Makes sense that I'd put it on the site, then, right?) These little morsels are delicious, refreshing, and wonderfully easy to make. They also have very little actual limoncello in them (no more alcohol than, say, using a high-quality vanilla extract), so they're fit to feed to the kids, too.

Recipe makes about 30 truffles. This is a perfect summer picnic recipe, but the truffles do melt, so store them with the cold drinks and such to keep them cool.

Ingredients:
1/4 C. whipping cream
1 lemon, zest of
8 oz. white chocolate, chopped fine or grated
1 tbsp. limoncello
1-2 C. grated coconut

Instructions: 1. Combine cream and lemon zest in a small saucepan. Barely bring the cream to a simmer, then remove from the heat.

2. Strain hot cream into a medium mixing bowl through a wire-mesh strainer. Stir in the white chocolate and limoncello. Mix well.

3. Chill until firm. Roll into balls, then roll balls in shredded coconut. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
