Hints and Tips

  • These rich, indulgent truffles wouldn't look out of place in a chocolatiers window, and they are deceptively simple to make when you have a Thermomix®! Stored in the fridge until ready to package up, these make a beautiful gift for your friends and family; simply adjust the flavour and coatings according to their tastes.
  • Adjust flavourings according to taste. Orange extract, peppermint extract, almond extract, Cointreau, Kahlua or cherry brandy also work well.
  • The coatings can be varied too; try chopping different types of nuts, freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries.
