Instructions

Drain the curd cheese for 30 minutes in a sieve lined with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix the drained cheese with the icing sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt.
Shape small balls about 3 cm (1¼ in) across with damp hands.
Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second bursts.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, then let the excess drip off.
Roll the kohukes in shredded coconut or cocoa powder, as you like, or sprinkle with hazelnuts.
Let the chocolate set in the fridge for 20 minutes before enjoying.
