Ingredients Needed
- 4 digestive biscuits / 4 graham crackers
- 1–2 tbsp whisky cream liqueur (e.g. Baileys)
- 100g (4oz) white chocolate, broken into pieces
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
How To Make Chocolate Truffles
- Crush Biscuits: Place the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) in a freezer bag and finely crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix Truffle Filling: Combine the crushed biscuits with the reserved chocolate mousse (from the chocolate mousse preparation) and whisky cream liqueur in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- Shape Balls: Shape the mixture into six balls, each about the size of a small walnut. Place them in the fridge to set for 10–15 minutes.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a small bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water.
- Coat Truffles: Insert a cocktail stick into each ball, dip them into the melted white chocolate, and swirl until coated.
- Chill: Place the coated truffles on baking paper and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes until firm.
- Serve: Dust the truffles with cocoa powder just before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use Quality Chocolate: Choose high-quality dark and white chocolate for your truffles’ best flavor and texture.
- Chill Properly: Make sure to chill the truffles long enough after shaping to help them hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
- Adjust Liqueur to Taste: Start with 1 tablespoon of whisky cream liqueur in the filling; you can add more if you want a stronger flavor.
- Crush Biscuits Finely: Crush the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) into very fine crumbs to ensure a smooth mixture for shaping the truffles.
- Dust Before Serving: Dust the truffles with cocoa powder right before serving for a fresh look and taste; it helps prevent them from becoming too dry.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Chocolate Truffles cool until they reach room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: If you want to freeze the Chocolate Truffles, place them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To serve, take them out of the freezer and let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours before enjoying.
