Ingredients
Method- 200 g Marie biscuits
- 80 g desiccated coconut
- 1 t strong instant coffee
- 1 T warm water
- 1 T Kahlúa (optional)
- 190 g condensed milk
- 1 T butter, melted
- 50 g white chocolate, melted
- 100 g dark chocolate, melted
- Icing sugar, for dusting
- 50 g pistachio nuts, very finely chopped
- 50 g almonds, finely pulsed
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Method
IngredientsCrush the biscuits in a food processor until fine. Mix with the coconut, coffee, water, Kahlúa, condensed milk and butter. Shape teaspoonfuls of the mixture into compact balls.
Coat a quarter of the balls in white chocolate and the rest in dark chocolate and leave to set until almost hard. Dust the white chocolate-coated truffles with icing sugar, a third of the dark chocolate-coated truffles in pistachio nuts, another third in almonds and the rest in cocoa powder. Serve with coffee.
Cook's note:These truffles look and taste just as delicious as the real thing and take a fraction of the time it does to make the original version. Plus, they pair perfectly with the heady, roasted flavour of a cup of Java – a great way to end a meal.
