Directions
-
Melt the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of very hot, not simmering, water.
-
Add the finely chopped white chocolate to the melted butter and stir occasionally until completely smooth and melted.
-
Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in 1/4 cup of the shredded coconut, the egg yolk, coconut liqueur, and vanilla extract.
-
Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and smooth; if it separates, continue whisking until it comes together.
-
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mixture is firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
-
Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop the chilled mixture and roll it between your hands to form 1-inch balls.
-
Roll each ball in the remaining 3/4 cup of shredded coconut, pressing gently so the coconut adheres to the truffles.
-
Refrigerate the truffles until ready to serve.

Note
Storage: These truffles can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Keep them tightly covered in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Substitutions: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute the coconut liqueur with additional vanilla extract or coconut extract.
Tips: Ensure the water under the bowl is hot but not boiling to prevent scorching the white chocolate. If the chocolate seizes, add a tiny amount of warm water or butter and stir gently.
