Terpenes & Flavor Profiles: The turmeric provides a warm, earthy base with slightly peppery notes, while the ginger adds a touch of spice and heat. The cinnamon complements the blend with its sweet and slightly woody aroma, and the coconut (both milk and flakes) brings a tropical, creamy sweetness. The white chocolate rounds out the flavors with its smooth, sweet creaminess, balancing the spices. If you include CBD oil, the earthy, slightly herbal flavor will enhance the calming properties of the truffles.Bodily System Help: This treat supports skin health (thanks to coconut and CBD oil), digestion (with ginger), and inflammation reduction (due to turmeric and black pepper). The CBD oil can help with stress relief and relaxation, while the turmeric and cinnamon provide overall wellness benefits by supporting the immune system and circulation.Number of Servings: This recipe makes about 12-15 truffles, depending on the size of each one.

Instructions
Heat the Coconut Milk
In a small saucepan, warm the coconut milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir in the coconut oil, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Mix until the oil is melted and the spices are well incorporated.
Sweeten the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the raw honey. Mix well until fully dissolved. NOTE: Do not use a metal spoon. Metal compromises the healing properties of raw honey.
Melt the White Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. Stir every 30 seconds to avoid burning.
Combine the Chocolate and Spiced Milk
Once the white chocolate is melted, pour it into the spiced coconut milk mixture. Stir until fully combined, creating a smooth, golden base.
Infuse with CBD Oil
If using CBD oil, add it to the mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
Cool and Chill
Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture firms up enough to shape into truffles.
Form the Truffles
Once the mixture is firm enough to handle, scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon) and roll them into balls. If the mixture is too sticky, you can lightly coat your hands with a bit of coconut oil or powdered sugar.
Coat with Coconut
Roll each truffle in shredded coconut to coat it evenly. This adds a pleasant texture and enhances the coconut flavor.
Chill Again
Place the truffles back in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve and Store
Enjoy the truffles chilled, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Betsy's Infusion Notes:
Adjusting Sweetness: The white chocolate adds a fair amount of sweetness, but if you prefer a less sweet truffle, use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
Infusing CBD: For the best results, choose a CBD oil that has a neutral flavor, so it doesn’t overpower the other ingredients. Adjust the dosage based on your personal preference and the strength of the CBD oil.
Storage: Store the truffles in the refrigerator, as they will soften at room temperature. They will last up to 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container.
Customizing Flavors: You can experiment with other spices, such as cardamom or nutmeg, for different flavor profiles. Adding vanilla extract can enhance the sweetness and richness of the truffles.
