They can be stored in the refrigerator for over a week as long as they are in an airtight container.
This recipe makes about 24 pieces.
Ingredients →
– 160 x grams of dark chocolate
– 180 x grams Petit Beurre biscuits
– 1/2 x cup full cream milk
– 1/3 x cup fresh cream
– 1 x tablespoon liqueur
– 1 & 1/4 x cup chopped walnuts
Method →
– Chop chocolate into small pieces and completely melt over low heat in a double boiler.
– Place biscuits in a large bowl and crush them into very small pieces. Add a quarter of a cup of chopped walnuts.
– Pour melted chocolate over biscuits and walnuts and mix together with a wooden spoon.
– Add milk, fresh cream and liqueur and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are well combined.

– Remove from refrigerator and take a teaspoon of the mixture and begin forming them into ball-like shapes by rolling the mixture in your palms. It makes it easier by wearing food-handling gloves. Otherwise, wet your hands with water in between each truffle.
