- Melt the cocoa butter on a low heat. Put all the ingredients together in the blender and mix until you get a homogenous mass. The structure must be such that you can easily roll balls with it. Roll about 20 balls and put them on a plate. Put them in the fridge for an hour.
- For the topping you take 3 small plates with each their ingredient. (cocoa powder, grated coconut and chopped pistachio nuts) Roll the balls one by one through the desired topping. (You can also do this before putting them in the fridge and repeating it after an hour) You can easily store them in the fridge for a week. The topping will then be less crunchy.
