Servings: 10 Truffles
Calories: 206kcal
Ingredients
- 160 g gluten free digestive biscuit(s)
- 100 g mincemeat check the label for gluten
- 50 g condensed milk vegan condensed milk method in notes and post
- 30 g butter I use Flora unsalted vegan block
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of clove
- 100 g chocolate I used a dark dairy free chocolate
To decorate
- 50 g icing/confectioners sugar
- 1 tsp milk I used soya milk
- holly and berry decorations
Instructions
- In a blender blitz the digestive biscuits until you have fine crumbs. Tip the crumbs into a large bowl.
- To the bowl add the mincemeat, condensed milk, melted butter and spices and with a spoon mix together thoroughly.
- Put the bowl into the fridge to harden the raw truffle mixture.
- After 30mins, remove from the fridge and roll the dough into 10 walnut sized balls.
- Place onto a plate or tray and set aside.
- Carefully melt your chocolate, I use the cheat method and pop it in the microwave – oh, and don’t sneak any squares of chocolate, you’ll need all 100g!
- Using a teaspoon, roll the dough ball in the melted chocolate and place carefully back on the tray or plate, repeat until you have covered all 10 truffles.
- Return to the fridge for 30mins to set the chocolate
- Meanwhile you can make your icing to act as cream pouring down the side of your mini puddings.
- Don’t be tempted to add more icing sugar, this is the right amount to achieve the viscosity for the icing to set without dripping off the truffles.
- Add your Christmas decorations and return to the fridge or by an open window to set the icing.
- Store in the fridge in a sealed Tupperware container (if you fail to seal them with a lid, the chocolate will ‘sweat’ in the fridge and become sticky).
