How to Make It
Follow these simple steps to create your mango truffles.
Puree the Mango
Blend the ripe mango until smooth in a blender or food processor. This will be the base of your creamy filling.
Mix Cream Cheese and Mango
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the pureed mango. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add Powdered Sugar
Gradually fold in the powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. The mixture will become thicker and sweeter.
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract for a bright flavor enhancement. This will balance the sweetness of the mango.
Shape the Truffles
Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about one inch in diameter. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
Chill the Truffles
Place the truffle balls in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to firm up. This will make them easier to handle during coating.
Melt White Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate in increments of 30 seconds, stirring between each session until completely melted. Be careful not to overheat.
Coat the Truffles
Dip the chilled truffle balls into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Add Coconut Coating
Roll each chocolate-coated truffle in the desiccated coconut until well covered. This gives a delightful texture and presentation.
Final Chill
Return the coated truffles to the fridge for another 15 minutes to set the chocolate. Once firm, they are ready to enjoy!
