Ginger Truffles


Recipe by Australia's Best

Ingredients​

  • 250 g gingernut biscuits
  • 395 g condensed milk
  • 60 g glace ginger
  • 3 cup desiccated coconut
  • 220 g dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut to decorate optional

Method​

  • Step 1
    Line baking trays with baking paper. In a food processor, process gingernut biscuits until fine.
  • Step 2
    Chop desired amount of glace ginger into fine pieces.
  • Step 3
    In a medium bowl mix together the crushed biscuits, condensed milk, chopped glace ginger and desiccated coconut.
  • Step 4
    Place the mixture in the fridge for at least half hour - rolling the balls is much easier when the mixture is cool. If you would like to coat some of the balls in shredded coconut, do that now while the mixture is sticky.
  • Step 5
    Roll bite-size balls and place on a plate. Refrigerate again before coating with chocolate.
  • Step 6
    Melt the chocolate. Coat truffles in melted chocolate and place on baking paper to set. You may also like to keep some truffles plain/uncoated.

Recipe Notes​


You can use 60g - 120g glace ginger - depending on your taste. Shredded coconut is optional.

How to package them for gifts​

If you'd like to make your truffles look as good as they taste, then here are a few tips to help you out:

  • For a professional touch, try coating your truffles and balls in melted chocolate.
  • To make a number of different looking truffles and balls, try rolling the finished sweets in crushed nuts, toasted and untoasted coconut, chocolate sprinkles, crushed chocolate bars or even jelly crystals.
  • Line a shallow box with small paper confectionary cases and place a sweet inside each paper case.
  • Package your sweets up in cellophane bags and tie them with a ribbon for an impressive gift that only takes moments to put together.
Enjoy
