Prep Time20 minutesminutes
Refrigerating Time1 hourhour
Ingredients
1 cupwhite chocolate chips
1/4 cupheavy cream
1 1/2teaspoonlime juice
1 lime zest
1/2 cupslightly salted shelled pistachios
Instructions
Put the chocolate chips in a bowl
Using a small sauce pan or in the microwave, heat the heavy cream until it's about to boil and small bubbles are starting to form
Pour the cream over the chocolate chips. Let them sit for a little bit
Zest the lime and add to the chocolate mixture
Using a whisk, combine the cream and incorporate it into the chocolate chips
If the chocolate is not fully melted, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, 15 seconds at a time
Once the mixture is well combined, add the lime juice and mix well
Cover the chocolate mixture with seran wrap but put it directly on the mixture, not on the bowl, but instead on top of the chocolate itself so it does not form a film while it cools
Let the chocolate cool completely for at least 2 hours
Using a food prossesor or a knife, chop up the pistachios until they are finely chopped, like crumbs. It's ok to have the crumbs be some bigger than others
Once the chocolate has hardened completely, using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out the chocolate and using your hands, roll each scoop in your hands to form a ball
Roll each chocolate truffle on to the pistachio crumbs, make sure the entire surface is covered with the crumbs
Place the truffles on a plate and refrigerate once more until hardened
Serve chilled
