Malteser-Inspired Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

• 200g Maltesers™
• 100g milk chocolate, chopped
• 100ml double cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions:

1. Crush the Maltesers™ into small pieces using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
2. In a heatproof bowl, add the chopped milk chocolate and double cream.
3. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (making sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl). Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and crushed Maltesers. Mix well.
5. Allow the mixture to cool, then place it in the fridge for 2-3 hours until it has firmed up.
6. Once the mixture is firm, use a teaspoon to scoop out small portions and roll them into balls. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder to coat.
7. Place the truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until they are firm.
8. Once the truffles have set, they are ready to be served and enjoyed!
