This delicious recipe is from Chocolate: A Love Story, Max Brenner’s private collection of dessert recipes.

Bring the cream to a simmer and pour over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit until the chocolate begins to melt, about 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Beat in the butter and liqueur until thoroughly combined. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
Scoop the chocolate mixture with a mini ice-cream scoop or a teaspoon and roll into 1-inch (approximately 1 ounce) balls, powdering with your hands with confectioner’s sugar if necessary to keep the chocolate from sticking. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours.
Prepare three shallow bowls: one with beaten egg, one with flour, and one with shredded coconut. Roll the frozen balls in each bowl: first in the egg, then in the flour, then in the egg again, and finally in the shredded coconut.
Let the balls rest for a few minutes in the refrigerator, then dip them again in all three bowls in the same order. Freeze the double-dipped balls for at least 1 hour.
In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F. Carefully fry the truffles, working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

I'm lost...Jessica Seinfeld 's whoopie pies are supposed to have eliminated unnecessary sugar&fat. They have 11/4 cups brown sugar and filling has 11/4 cups confectioners sugar plus 2 cups marshmallow cream (THIS STUFF IS LOADED IN SUGAR) NOW GUILT FREE FRIED TRUFFLES??? These have 11/2 cups heavy cream, 1 stick of butter and are deep fried in vegetable oil.??? I'm with you on this one Charlie15.
