Marie Biscuit Chocolate Truffles
Super quick chocolate 'truffles' made with Marie biscuits, rolled in pistachios, coconut and chocolate!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 8 to 10 truffles
Ingredients
- 90 gms Marie biscuits (or digestive biscuits)
- 1/3 cup whole almonds (see notes)
- 2 tbsps cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp grated dark chocolate, optional
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 2 tbsps chocolate liqueur, optional
- To roll the truffles: ground pistachios, grated chocolate and desiccated coconut
Instructions
- In a food processor or grinder, blitz the biscuits until only a few larger bits remain. Transfer to a mixing bowl
- Next, blitz the almonds until finely ground. Add to the biscuits in the bowl.
- Add the cocoa powder and grated chocolate and mix well. Next, add the condensed milk and liqueur. Use a silicone spatula to bring the mixture together. If it feels dry, add a bit more condensed milk, to ensure the truffles remain moist even later on.
- The mixture will be a little sticky, so transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until it's easy to roll.
- Form 8 to 10 equal sized rounds, and roll them in ground pistachios, grated chocolate and desiccated coconut, or anything else your heart desires! Keep refrigerated at all times. Happy eating!
Notes
*I find it easiest to grate a bar of chocolate when it's cold. Transfer the grated portion to the fridge until ready to use.
*You can skip the almonds and use more biscuit crumbs instead. The idea is to just have a good balance of the condensed milk and dry ingredients so the mixture binds well.
*I've also tipped the mixture out onto a plate, spread it around firmly and evenly, chilled it and cut it into squares. It's a great time-saver if you don't want to roll the mixture into individual balls.
