Method

  1. To make the Lemon Coconut Truffles, start by washing and drying the lemons. Grate the zest, taking care not to grate the white pith.

  2. Break the wafers directly into a bowl and mash them with a fork until you get a thick cream. Add the lemon zest and the mascarpone, stirring to combine.

  4. Pull off a piece of dough and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Roll it in the desiccated coconut until coated as much as you like and place it on a tray. Continue in the same way until you have used up all the dough.
