How to Make Caramilk Biscuit Truffles
Making these truffles is a breeze! You start by melting chocolate with butter and mixing it with crushed biscuits and condensed milk. Once everything is combined, rolling them into balls is the fun part! You can choose from a variety of toppings, making each truffle a little bit different.
What You Need
- 250g plain biscuits
- 50g butter
- 2 blocks Caramilk chocolate (180g each)
- 1 can condensed milk (395g)
- Desiccated coconut
- Chopped nuts
- Sprinkles
- Melted chocolate (for coating option)
Step-by-Step
Using a food processor, crush the plain biscuits into fine crumbs to ensure a smooth texture in your truffles. In a large glass bowl, melt the butter and broken Caramilk chocolate pieces together by microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted and combined. Add the condensed milk and crushed biscuit crumbs into the melted chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Work while warm as this makes rolling easier. Spoon out about a tablespoon of mixture and roll it between your palms into a small ball. If the mixture cools and hardens, briefly reheat to soften before rolling. Roll the formed balls in your choice of desiccated coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles. Place them on a lined baking tray to cool and set. For a chocolate outer layer, form slightly smaller balls and chill them in the fridge for 15 minutes. Melt additional chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil until smooth. Using two forks, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the tray to set. Once set, store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
