Ingredients
  

For the truffles
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened This makes the centers creamy and scoopable.
  • 1 cup Crushed pineapple (well drained) Ensure it is well-drained to avoid a sticky mixture.
  • 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut Plus a little extra for rolling.
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar For structure and sweetness.
  • 1 pinch Salt A tiny pinch wakes up the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Rum extract or a small splash of rum (optional) Just a little for added flavor.
  • 8 ounces White chocolate or vanilla candy melts for coating Melt to dip the truffles.
Optional garnishes
  • 1 cup Toasted coconut For rolling the truffles.
  • 2 tablespoons White chocolate drizzle To drizzle over the truffles.
  • 1 teaspoon Lime zest For added fresh flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain the pineapple well to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt, coconut, and the drained pineapple. If desired, add rum extract or a small splash of rum.
  3. Stir until you have a thick, scoopable dough. If it's too wet, add more coconut or powdered sugar.
  4. Scoop and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a lined sheet pan.
  5. Chill the truffles for at least 45 minutes until firm.
Coating
  1. Melt the white chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  2. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and return to the parchment-lined pan.
  3. Sprinkle with toasted coconut while the coating is still wet.
  4. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or place them in the fridge to firm up quickly.

Notes

These truffles taste even better after chilling as the flavors mingle. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
