The Cheapskates Club forum has been buzzing with lots of talk about homemade Ferrero Rochers for Christmas, so I thought I'd share this recipe for homemade Raffaello truffles. They are just as good as the Ferrero Rocher clones and make a delightful gift too.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup toasted almonds, roughly chopped
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
250g white chocolate
1tsp coconut essence
60g rice bubbles, lightly crushed
500g white chocolate, extra
1 cup desiccated coconut
Method:
Melt the white chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk over simmering water or in the microwave. Add chopped almonds and stir until well combined. Freeze until the mixture has stiffened slightly to be rolled into balls. Mold 1 slightly heaped teaspoon of chocolate almond mixture into a ball then roll in the crushed rice bubbles. Freeze again until the balls are firm. Melt the extra white chocolate and coat each ball, draining off excess chocolate, then roll in desiccated coconut. Set in fridge, about 20 minutes. Makes 3 dozen truffles.

Cath could these be left in the freezer at the second stage to be finished off in a couple of weeks?
ReplyDeleteI don't see why not. You'd need to store them well wrapped in an air-tight container and they would need to thaw a little before you rolled them.
ReplyDeleteThen just finish them as per the recipe.
