13 minutes ago, Jim D. said:I have a recipe (from an ancient Bon Appétit) that calls for making truffles from (sweetened) cream of coconut, chopped macadamias, white chocolate, dark rum, lime zest, and toasted coconut flakes. Sounds a bit similar to what you are thinking of.
Minus the macadamias and the coconut flakes and with the addition of some lime juice to add a little tartness and balance, that sounds similar to what I was going for. I know coconut and lime is a common combo, I was just going to model mine after the Coconaut tiki drink by making it more rum-forward. I was going for a rum trio, the Dark and Stormies from Chocolates and Confections in dark chocolate, this one modeled after the Coconaut in white chocolate and I'm hoping to come up with one using milk chocolate as well, still working on that.
