Difficulty level: easy
Ingredients
150g (5oz) Tea biscuits (I use "kedem", but any vanilla tea biscuits should work).
4-5 tbsps Nesquick instant chocolate powder
1/2 cup + 100ml plant-based milk
100g (3oz) chocolate chips
50g (2.7oz) homemade vegan butter (recipe)
Optional: peanut butter (to drizzle on top)
Let's make truffles!
In a food processor, thinly crush the biscuits to tiny crumbles. Add the chocolate powder and mix well.
Add 1/2 cup milk and mix thoroughly to get the mixture chunky and moist.
Make about 2 inch spheres out of the mixture, and place on a clean moist surface (so they won't stick).
​
In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, heat 100ml milk and butter, and pour it over the chocolate chips to melt them.
Stir well until a consistent and smooth texture is received.
​
Dip each truffle to cover it well with chocolate and place on a serving flat tray/plate.
When you're done dipping all the truffles, place the plate in the fridge for 2 hours or more to get the ganache stable and relatively firm.
​
You can serve them as they are or drizzle some peanut butter on the top.
​
An idea for kids - mix the ganache with cake candies
and when you dip the truffles they will be covered
with both chocolate and candy!
