Here’s a decadent Coconut and Mascarpone Pralines recipe—rich, creamy, and perfect for gifting or a special treat 🍬🥥🧀
🥥 Coconut & Mascarpone Pralines
🛒 Ingredients (Makes ~12–15 pralines)
- 100g Mascarpone cheese
- 50g Unsalted butter
- 50g Powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 50g Desiccated coconut (plus extra for coating)
- 50g White chocolate
- Pinch of salt
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Mascarpone Base
- In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt
- Beat until smooth and creamy
2. Mix in Coconut
- Fold in desiccated coconut until evenly incorporated
3. Shape the Pralines
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, form small balls
- Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
- Chill in the fridge for 30–60 minutes to firm up
4. Coat in White Chocolate
- Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave (in 20-second intervals, stirring each time)
- Dip each chilled praline into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off
- Roll or sprinkle with extra desiccated coconut before the chocolate sets
5. Chill and Serve
- Place coated pralines back on parchment
- Refrigerate until chocolate hardens (~30 minutes)
- Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week
🔥 Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mascarpone mix
- Substitute white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate for a richer taste
- These pralines are naturally soft inside; don’t over-chill or they may become too firm
If you want, I can also give a no-bake version with just 4 ingredients that’s creamy, coconutty, and ready in under 20 minutes.
