By now I think you should know that I’m crazy about chocolates. I try to make quick chocolate goodies all the time. Bite size treats are the best, because it’s easy to stop yourself form eating a whole lot of charming treats. Always works for me. Truffles are one such bite size treats. Unlike the regular truffle, this one is quite different. Every time you have a small piece of vanilla or even chocolate sponge cake left, you could make a truffle out of it. You can also use crumbled brownies. It is up to you. So here’s another recipe that is super easy and quick.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crumbled Vanilla Sponge Cake
- ½ cup deseeded and chopped Cherries
- ½ cup Raisins
- 2 tbsp. Condensed Milk
- 400 gms. Chopped sweetened Dark Chocolate
- ¼ cup grated White Chocolate (for garnish)
Method:
- Add the vanilla sponge cake crumbles in a mixing bowl and break them into finer crumbs using your hand.
- Add the chopped cherries.
- In a microwavable bowl, add the raisins and add enough water to submerge the raisins and microwave it on high for a minute. This will help the raisins get soft. Then add them into drain the water.
- Add the raisins to the mixing bowl.
- Now add the condensed milk and mix well with your hands. The mixture will get a bit doughy.
- Now make truffle size balls out of the mixture and keep them aside.
- Transfer the chopped Dark chocolate into a microwavable bowl and microwave it for 2-3 minutes or until the chocolate melts.
- Take a fork and mix the chocolate well and see that it’s not lumpy.
- Place a parchment sheet on a tray.
- Now pick each off the balls with the help of a toothpick and dip it into the melted chocolate. Cover them with chocolate and place them on the sheet.
- Now sprinkle the grated white chocolate on top of each truffle and keep the tray in the fridge until it sets.
