Equipment You’ll Need


Method

Step 1 — Sift and Mix the Dry Ingredients

Sift the cocoa powder using the flour sifter into a large mixing bowl.
Add crushed biscuits and half the chopped nuts. Mix well.


Step 2 — Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture holds together when pressed.


Step 3 — Shape the Truffles

Roll small amounts into even-sized balls and place them into nut roll tins or onto a lined tray.


Step 4 — Create Three Variations

  • Nut-coated truffles: Roll in chopped nuts.

  • Cocoa-dusted truffles: Roll in sifted cocoa powder.

  • Chocolate-coated truffles: Dip into melted chocolate and chill until set.


Step 5 — Chill and Serve

Place the truffles on a wire cooling rack or tray.
Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour until firm.


Tips for Perfect Truffles

  • Swap walnuts for hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios for a different flavour.

  • Use dark chocolate for a richer, more indulgent taste.

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
