Ingredients
Plain sweet biscuits
250 g ((Crushed; I use Arnotts Marie biscuits))
Desiccated coconut
1/2 cup ((Fine))
Cocoa powder
2 tablespoons
Sweetened condensed milk
340 g ((I prefer Nestle))
Desiccated coconut
3/4 cup ((For rolling the truffles, fine))
Instructions
1
Start by crushing the plain sweet biscuits in a food processor until they resemble fine flour. This forms the base of your truffle mixture.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, 1/2 cup of fine desiccated coconut, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Stir the dry ingredients together until well blended.
3
Gradually add the condensed milk to the dry mixture, stirring continuously. Pour it in slowly, adjusting as needed, to ensure the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency without being overly wet or dry.
4
Once combined, you'll know the mixture is ready when it holds its shape and is easy to roll into balls. If necessary, adjust with more crushed biscuits or condensed milk to achieve the right consistency.
5
Prepare a flat plate by adding 1/4 cup of desiccated coconut for rolling. Use the palm of your hands to roll the mixture into one-inch balls.
6
Once rolled, gently coat each truffle in the desiccated coconut, ensuring they are evenly covered.
7
Place the coated truffles on a tray, and then store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. Enjoy these delectable bites chilled!
