Ingredients
To make your Chocolate Biscuits Truffle, you will need the following ingredients:
- 200 grams of dark fantasy biscuits
- 100 grams of cream cheese (softened)
- 200 grams of dark chocolate (melted)
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of desiccated coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of sprinkles (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Biscuits
Begin by crushing the dark fantasy biscuits into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing the biscuits in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin or a heavy object to crush them. Alternatively, you can use a food processor for a quicker method. The finer the crumbs, the smoother your truffles will be.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed dark fantasy biscuits with the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined. The cream cheese acts as a binding agent, helping to hold your truffles together.
Step 3: Form the Truffles
After the mixture is well blended, make small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Wondering how much mixture to take? We recommend a tablespoon of mixture to create the perfect truffle balls this festive season. Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in short intervals of 30 seconds, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize.
Step 5: Coat the Truffles
Dip the truffles into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. You can use a fork to help lift the truffles out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6: Add Finishing Touches
Before the chocolate coating sets, roll some of the truffles in cocoa powder, desiccated coconut, or sprinkles for added texture and flavour. These toppings not only enhance the taste but also make your truffles visually appealing!
Step 7: Chill and Serve
Place the coated truffles back on the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Once set, your Chocolate Biscuits Truffles are ready to be enjoyed!
Tips for the Perfect Truffles
- Use Quality Chocolate: Remember that the quality of chocolate can make or break your truffle recipe. Note that dark chocolate adds a rich flavour that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the biscuits.
- Experiment with Flavours: You can consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture to give your truffles a unique taste.
- Storage: Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well, so you can make a batch in advance for school events.
