Ingredients
  

  • 300g Marie Biscuits crushed
  • ½ cup dried coconut
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 379g (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
  • 30ml Amarula Cream Liqueur
  • 150g dark chocolate melted
  • 150g white chocolate melted

Instructions
 

Method:

  • Prepare the base: Crush the Marie biscuits using a handheld chopper or food processor until fine.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs, dried coconut, and cocoa powder. Add the sweetened condensed milk and Amarula liqueur. Stir until fully combined into a sticky mixture.
  • Shape the Truffles: Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and press it between your hands into a patty shape, then roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • Prepare for Dipping: Line a tray with parchment paper and place the truffles on it. Chill in the refrigerator while you melt the chocolate.
  • Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white and dark chocolates separately in heatproof bowls, either in the microwave (in 15-second intervals) or using a double boiler. Let the chocolate cool slightly before dipping.
  • Decorate the Truffles: Dip the chilled truffles into the melted chocolate, alternating between white and dark chocolate. For variety, you can roll some truffles in additional dried coconut after dipping.
  • Set and Serve: Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray and allow them to set completely in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a delicious treat.

Tips: For a twist, add a pinch of sea salt to the ganache for a salted chocolate flavour. If you find the ganache too sticky to roll, lightly dust your hands with cocoa powder. Enjoy these rich, tropical-inspired truffles! 🌴🍫

    Pro Tip: For an extra flair, drizzle contrasting chocolate over the coated truffles or sprinkle with edible glitter. Enjoy these decadent Amarula-infused truffles 🌴🍫
