These chocolate treats have quickly become one of my go-to treats when I’m in the mood for something simple yet decadent. I’ve made them countless times, and every time, I’m reminded of how easy they are to whip up and how satisfying they are to eat. The soft biscuit base mixes so well with the smooth chocolate ganache, and I love playing around with toppings. Sometimes I drizzle peanut butter on top, or if I’m feeling extra, I’ll roll them in cake candies. No matter what, they always disappear fast in my house—my kids can never get enough!
Ingredients
150g (5oz) Tea biscuits (I use "kedem", but any vanilla tea biscuits should work).
4-5 tbsps Nesquick instant chocolate powder
100g (3oz) walnuts
1/2 cup + 100ml plant-based milk
3oz (100g) chocolate chips
2.7oz (50g) homemade vegan butter (follow my recipe here or use any store-bought)
Step by Step
Prepare the chocolate ball
In a food processor, finely crush the biscuits until they turn into tiny crumbs.
Add the chocolate powder & walnuts (optional, for added nutritional value) and grind further.
To a mixing bowl, pour the mixture from the food processor, and gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing thoroughly until the mixture becomes moist and chunky.
Roll the biscuit mixture into 2-inch spheres, placing them on a clean, moist surface to prevent sticking.
Make the Ganache
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 100ml of milk and butter together until the butter is melted.
Pour the milk and butter mixture over the chocolate chips.
Stir until smooth and consistent.
Dip each ball in the chocolate ganache, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Place the coated truffles onto a flat tray or plate.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 2 hours to allow the ganache to firm up.
Optional Toppings
Drizzle with peanut butter for an extra layer of flavor.
For a fun twist, mix cake candies into the ganache before dipping the truffles. This will give them a colorful, crunchy coating.
Once chilled, your truffles are ready to enjoy! Serve them as they are or with your favorite toppings.
