Needlework and Quilting Pros |
| ILoveToBake.com MACADAMIA TRUFFLES |
| I love naughty treats and chocolate truffles are a favourite. I also know that ALL my stitching friends and students also love chocolate truffles so when designing my stitchery book, Christmas Truffles, I decided to combine the two. However, we can’t lose too much stitching time slaving in the kitchen so all of the recipes in the book are quick and easy to make but produce mouth watering, irresistible treats. This one, Macadamia Truffles uses white chocolate – my favourite, but is quite sweet so the truffles can be shared by many. Helen Stubbings, designer and owner of Hugs ‘n Kisses. |

| 200g/7oz white chocolate 125g/4oz packet Philadelphia cream cheese 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla essence/extract 20 macadamia nuts 1/4 cup desiccated coconut 1/2 cup coconut extra for rolling |
