Speculaas Truffles
Very simple Speculaas truffles, made with Speculaas cookies, white chocolate, and almonds. A no-bake dessert, made in no-time, and very delicious. Since Spekulaas cookies are loaded with a lovely combination of rich, warm flavors this is the real winter recipe!
Servings: 30 -35 truffles
Ingredients
- 200 grams white chocolate (7 oz)
- 50 grams heavy cream (1/4 cup)
- 150 grams Speculaas cookies (5.3 oz)
- 50 grams ground almonds (1/2 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Finely ground Speculaas cookies in a food processor or using a ziplock bag and rolling pin.
- In a small saucepan, pour heavy cream and heat until hot (do not let it boil).
- In the meantime chop the white chocolate and put it in hot cream. Leave for about 5 minutes to melt and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Leave a small portion of the ground cookies on the side (about 30-40 grams), and the rest, with ground almonds, vanilla and cinnamon, mix in a mixture of cream and chocolate and mix well to get all ingredients well incorporated.
- Put it in the refrigerator for 2 h.
- Using a teaspoon (or cookie scoop) shape the balls (my size was about 2-2.5 cm (1 inch) ) and roll into the remaining ground cookies.
- Keep in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
