These cookie truffles are made with mildly sweet biscuits crushed along with ,butter, condensed milk. They are then dipped in white chocolate with sugar sprinkles on it. These truffles are a treat to the eyes especially with kids.
About the recipe:
Generally cookie truffles is made with sugar cookies, cream cheese then dipped in chocolate. But I wanted to try a version which uses easily available ingredients. As cream cheese is not widely found in supermarkets I chose condensed milk as substitute and it worked really well.
4 SIMPLE INGRDIENTS:
Cookies – Use mildy sweet cookies as condensed milk also has sweetness in it. I used normal bakery biscuits the salt and sweet ones. The cookies should be crumbly easy enough to blend in mixer.
Butter – Use fresh butter, I used homemade butter – melted and used it.
Condensed Milk – You can use store bought or make your own like how I did.
White Chocolate – Use good quality compound white chocolate for best results. I used morde brand.
HOW TO MAKE COOKIE TRUFFLES:
Blend : To begin with blend cookies to a coarse mixture. You can pulse few times to make fine crumbs. Add butter nad condensed milk, blend again so that it forms a dough like texture.
Roll : Now scoop out and roll into small balls. Arrange in a tray with parchment paper.
Melt : Melting white chocolate is easy but you need to know the trick. I melted the chocolate using double boiler method : Boil water in a sauce pan. Keep a heat resistant bowl over the sauce pan. Add white chocolate to it and switch off the flame and leave it undisturbed for 3 mins. The chocolate melts in the steam from the sauce pan. Melt until smooth and flowing.
Coat : Now remove the balls from the fridge and then coat it with melted white chocolate. Then place in a parchement and allow it to set.Use a fork to coat as it drips the excess white chocolate easily.
Variations to Christmas cookie truffles :
- You can use sugar cookies too but in that case you should use cream cheese for biding may be 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup.
- You can coat it with dark chocolate too.
- Add mixed color sprinkles in the biscuit dough itself to make it look more colorful and festive.
- In addition, you can chopped nuts too.
Storage :
These cookie truffles freezes well. You can put in a ziplock and freeze upto 1 month. Remove , thaw them and enjoy!
