    Ricotta truffles are easy to make and you can use a variety of coatings according to your taste. It takes very little time and the only requirement is that they must be refrigerated until you serve them.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup confectionary sugar
    • 1 cup good quality cocoa powder (no sugar added)
    • 1 7 oz. package shredded sweet coconut
    • 1 lb. of whole milk ricotta

    Directions

    1. PREPARATION
    2. Mix equal amounts of ricotta and powdered sugar and place the mixture in the refrigerator until it hardens to the point of being able to roll into a ball.
    3. ASSEMBLY
    4. Roll out into small balls the size of chocolate truffles. Roll 50% of them in the cocoa powder and 50% of them in the grated coconut. Keep them refrigerated until you are ready to serve them.
    5. NOTE
    6. It is possible to prepare them in the morning and serve in the evening. However, they will only stay a few days in the refrigerator and are never as good as when eaten the same day.

              Impossible. No amount of chilling is going to harden this enough to shape into balls. All I have is a drippy blob that's going in the trash. It sounded good but doesn't execute.
