Ingredients

For The Truffles:

  • 200 grams heavy whipping cream
  • 100 grams butter
  • 80 grams sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 250 grams vanilla biscuits finely crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons brandy or your favorite liquor

For Coating:

  • shredded desiccated coconut
  • unsweetened cocoa powder
  • finely chopped almonds or walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts

Instructions

  • Add cream, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the cocoa powder and whisk.
  • Once the cocoa is fully combined and the mixture starts to thicken slightly remove from heat.
  • Whisk in the crumbled biscuits and brandy.
  • Let mixture cool in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours.
  • Take a small piece from the mixture and shape it into a ball.
  • Roll each ball into your preferred coating. If using different coatings it's better to place each truffle in small baking paper cups.
