White chocolate is the star of this recipe so be sure to splurge on a quality chocolate your mom adores.

Coffee creamer is simmered with hibiscus jam until smooth. Pour over white chocolate, whisk until melted and you’re halfway through this recipe, see easy. No melon baller, no need to worry use a spoon to shape your truffles, but make sure you return the shaped truffles to the fridge before shaping with hands and rolling in toasted coconut.
