Glazed Sacher Truffles, a delicious and indulgent dessert. A very easy recipe: I used some cocoa cookies I had in the pantry, crushed them, added apricot jam, and then made the truffles. While letting them firm up in the fridge, I melted the dark chocolate and then glazed them to make them even more beautiful.
I can’t tell you how impressed everyone was, they were very much appreciated by my family and devoured in one bite.
They are absolutely a must-make, I called them glazed Sacher truffles because the taste reminds me of the Sacher torte, my favorite cake!
So, did I pique your interest? Tie on your apron and let’s make them together!
Kisses, Susy!

How to make Glazed Sacher Truffles
Start the recipe by crushing the cookies in the food processor, then place them in a bowl. Add the apricot jam and mix well, making the mixture homogeneous.
When the dough is ready, take pieces of it, roll them between your hands, and form balls about the size of a walnut. Place the balls on a plate and put them in the refrigerator for half an hour to thicken well.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and, one at a time, dip them in the melted chocolate, let them drain well with the help of two spoons or two forks, and place them on a plate. Let the glaze dry and then, with the help of a parchment paper cone, decorate the truffles.
Storage
Store the Sacher truffles in an airtight container for a couple of days in the fridge, but they will surely be gone quickly!
Questions and Answers
Can I roll them in cocoa without glazing them?
Of course, you can! However, the glaze is important because the Sacher cake is glazed!
