Chocolate Walnut Truffles 

1. Prepare  your Ingredients

Before diving into the recipe, make sure all ingredients are measured and ready to use. When everything is prepared, the cooking process becomes streamlined and a breeze.

2. Mix the Ingredients

In a saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of whipping cream, 35 grams of caster sugar, and 150 grams of unsalted butter. Heat gently until the butter melts, being careful not to overheat the cream. Once the butter has melted, add 150 grams of milk chocolate and whisk until smooth. Then stir in 150 grams of ground walnuts, 150 grams ground digestive biscuits, and 1 teaspoon rum (if desired) until you have a uniform mixture.

3. Chill the Mixture

Cover the mixture with cling film and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes. As it cools, the mixture will firm up and become easier to form into balls.

4. Shape the Chocolate Truffles

Once cooled, line a baking tray or plate with baking parchment. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, spread small scoops of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared surface. If you don’t have an ice cream scoop, you can also shape the truffles with your hands. Let them cool for another 30 minutes.

5. Dip in Chocolate

While the truffles are cooling, melt the milk chocolate and white chocolate separately with coconut oil. Choose a deeper bowl if available, as the depth makes it easier to scoop the melted chocolate.

Using a butter knife or spatula, dip each chocolate truffle into the melted chocolate, drain excess chocolate, then place them back on the baking parchment. Using another butter knife, slide the cookie onto the baking parchment without touching it too much.

For even more flavour, sprinkle toppings over the truffles before the chocolate sets.

6. Let Them Cool

Allow the Chocolate Walnut Truffles to cool until the chocolate hardens, then indulge in these irresistible treats!

7. Serve and Enjoy

Once cooled and set, serve these chocolate walnut truffles on a decorative platter or package them up as delightful gifts for friends and family. They’re perfect for parties, holidays, or any time you’re craving a sweet treat.

Ingredient Notes

You’ll only need a handful of everyday ingredients. Milk chocolate gives the truffles a smooth, creamy flavour, while ground walnuts add richness and a delicate nutty taste. Digestive biscuits help create the perfect texture, and a little whipping cream brings everything together. If you like, add a teaspoon of rum for extra flavour.

How to Store Chocolate Walnut Truffels

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They also freeze well for up to two months. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
