Time 1h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

7 ounces marzipan (almond paste)
1 cup shredded coconut
⅓ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon water, or more as needed
7 ounces chocolate confectioners' coating

Steps:

  • Knead marzipan, coconut, and powdered sugar together in a bowl, adding water if necessary. Shape into 24 balls and freeze on waxed paper for 30 minutes.
  • Chop confectioners' coating and place in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Coat chilled marzipan balls with the melted chocolate and chill until chocolate has hardened.
