Ingredients:
- 225g icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 egg
- 150g canned pineapple, chopped into tiny pieces
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 3 cups rice bubbles
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by chopping the canned pineapple into tiny pieces. Mix it with icing sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate and butter together. You can either use a double boiler method over low heat or melt them gently in the microwave, making sure to avoid burning the mixture.
-
Incorporate Egg: Once the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth, beat in the egg until well combined. This step adds richness and helps bind the ingredients together.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, add the rice bubbles and half a cup of desiccated coconut. Mix them together to create a crunchy base for the balls.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated and combined.
-
Form Balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, approximately the size of a tablespoon. The mixture should hold its shape well.
-
Coat with Coconut: Place the remaining desiccated coconut in a small bowl. Roll each chocolate-coated ball in the coconut until fully coated, adding an extra layer of flavor and texture.
-
Chill and Set: Arrange the coated balls on a baking tray in a single layer. Place the tray in the refrigerator to chill the balls until they are firm and set.
-
Serve and Store: Once set, transfer the White Chocolate Pineapple Balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy these delightful treats whenever you’re in need of a sweet indulgence!
