Directions
-
Melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together in a double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined.
-
Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooling.
-
Once cooled, gently fold in the 3 ounces of chopped white chocolate and the chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.
-
Transfer the mixture to a covered bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, until firm enough to handle.
-
Scoop out small portions of the chilled ganache and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls.
-
Place the formed truffle balls on a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper and return them to the refrigerator to set firmly for at least 2 hours.
-
Melt the remaining 16 ounces of white chocolate in a double boiler until smooth and fluid.
-
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
-
Place the dipped truffles back onto the waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
-
Immediately decorate with chocolate sprinkles or other toppings of choice before the coating sets.
-
Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the white chocolate shell is hard.
