Vicky's Chocolate Truffles!
A quick and tasty Christmas treat to give as a gift, to share in the office, or to enjoy at home!
Ingredients:
20 digestive biscuits
125g butter
200g condensed milk
2 tbsp cocoa power
125g desiccated coconut
Chocolate flavour strands and desiccated coconut for rolling
Optional:
rum
Makes approximately 20 truffles
Step 1
Put the digestive biscuits in a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin until you have crumbs.
Step 2
Put the butter and condensed milk in a pan over a low heat, until the butter melts. If you are feeling extra festive you can also add in some rum at this point to spice up your truffles!
Allow mixture to cool slightly then add the biscuit, cocoa powder and desiccated coconut to the melted butter mixture and stir to combine.
Step 3
Form the mixture into truffles about the size of ping pong balls (tip: dipping your hands into water between making each ball will help prevent the mixture sticking to your fingers).
Put the chocolate strands (or desiccated coconut) into a plastic bag, then gently drop the truffle balls in a few at a time and carefully roll around until they're completely covered in the strands (or coconut).
Step 4
Chill the truffles until they are ready to be enjoyed!
