MAKES 14
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 14 whole roasted salted macadamia nuts
  • Confectioners’ sugar, as needed
  • Bittersweet chocolate candy coating, melted
  • Garnish: finely chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
  1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, place white chocolate; microwave until partially melted, about 30 seconds.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, place heavy cream and coconut extract; microwave in 30-second intervals until steaming. Pour over partially melted white chocolate, and stir until fully melted. Place in fridge to set, about 1 hour.
  4. Using a 1-inch spring-loaded scoop, scoop white chocolate mixture onto prepared pan. Press 1 whole macadamia into the center of each round. Refrigerate 1 hour more.
