Take a look in your pantry. I am sure you will find lots of ingredients to make this easy dessert. (This is also aphrodisiac) Ingredients:
12 plain biscuits (petit beurre or morning coffee) |
12 rusks |
1 whipping cream |
1 spoonful of icing sugar |
85 grams of margarine |
1 glass of sugar |
3 spoonfuls of cocoa powder |
1 cup of almonds |
1 cup of walnuts |
1 cup of spoon fruits or dried fruit |
1 1/2 dark chocolates |
1 spoonful butter |
orange liqueur (1 shot for the truffles and some to wet the others) |
1 teaspoon vanilla powder |
note: you can use only biscuits or only rusks, raisins or other nuts, other liqueur flavor |
Directions:
1. Roast almonds and 5 minutes before the almonds are ready add the walnuts.
2. Whilst they are roasting, whip cream and icing sugar and when the whipping cream is ready place in the refrigerator.
3. Beat the butter with sugar and gradually add the cocoa powder until the mixture is nice and fluffy.
4. In a food processor add some biscuits and grind them like powder. Place in a bowl and continue until all biscuits and rusks have been processed. When the almonds and walnuts have cooled down grind them as well and place them in a bowl. Drain the spoon fruits and cut into small pieces. Add the vanilla, some orange liqueur and three spoonfuls of whipping cream. Mix all the ingredients together and start adding the butter mixture until with the mixture you can shape them into small balls. When shaped, put them in the refrigerator until you are finished with the next stage.
5. In a bain marie melt the chocolate and add butter. When it has nearly melted remove the pan from the hot water and keep stirring. When it has cooled down (but don’t stop stirring) incorporate in the mixture 2-3 spoonfuls of whipping cream just to make the mixture more fluid so that the biscuit balls can be covered. Place on a wire rack until they have cooled down and become firm.
6. For the remaining biscuit balls place some orange liqueur in a small plate, wet the balls and then roll on the sprinkles.
