- Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
3. Melt the White Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Stir in coconut oil (if using) for a silkier consistency.
4. Coat the Truffles:

- Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
