I don't think it's a dumb question.. I used heavy cream, also known as whipping cream,. .will clarify in the recipe too.

I used unsweetened. Let me know if you try them out:)

As we live in different areas and maybe different continents I proffered not to mention brands, as some are not possible to be found everywhere. I've used a good quality white chocolate. It is important to look at the ingredient list and see that is made with cocoa butter and not some sort of oils instead. Hope it helps.

So glad you enjoyed these little white chocolate coconut treats:) orange zest sounds awesome.
