Calories 79kcal
Ingredients
- 340 g KitKat chocolate blocks milk or dark
- 65 g condensed milk plus extra as needed
- 35 g desiccated coconut
Milk Chocolate Truffles
- 100 g glace cherries
Dark Chocolate Truffles
- 50 g dried cranberries
Instructions
- Roughly break up KitKat blocks (340g) and place in a food processor and process until fine crumbs.
- Add glace cherries (100g) or dried cranberries (50g) to crushed chocolate bar mixture and process until chopped.
- Add condensed milk (start with 65g initially) then gradually add more as needed until the mixture comes together (see my notes).
- Roll mixture into balls (roughly 2½ teaspoon each) then roll each ball in desiccated coconut (35g) as you go.
- Place in the fridge to set.
Notes
- The recipe calls for 65g of condensed milk to start with (approx 1 tablespoon short of ¼ cup) and then add more if needed. You will need to add the extra condensed milk to the crushed chocolate bars gradually. This is important to get the right consistency for your truffles. You want to add enough so that the mixture isn't too dry (or you won't be able to roll it into balls without it breaking apart) but not too much or the mixture will be too soft and your balls won't keep their shape very well.
- I suggest working quickly when forming the balls and rolling them in the coconut as soon as they are mixed. The mixture will get drier the longer it is left, plus the coconut won't stick to the outside of the balls if they are dry.
- I store them in the fridge (this way they hold their shape) but take them out about 10 minutes before serving them.
