Steps for Coffee and Hazelnut Truffles with Yogurt
Crush the dry biscuits (I used oro sawia, but other types are fine too)
put them in a plastic bag and beat them several times with the rolling pin until crumbled.
You can also use an electric mixer.
Pour the crushed biscuits into a bowl, add the condensed milk, yogurt, sweetened coffee, mix everything well and finally blend in the hazelnut paste, it should be a homogeneous and workable dough.
Then let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Take a bit of dough with your fingers and make walnut-sized balls.
Roll them well in the bitter cocoa, place them directly on a tray or in paper cups, keep them in the fridge until serving.
Storage, Tips, and Variations
The truffles can be stored in the fridge for about 2 days.
It’s best to coat them in cocoa right before serving.
For the dry biscuits, we can also use different types, even cocoa ones.
If we want to enhance the coffee flavor and aroma, we can add and dissolve a teaspoon of instant coffee in the espresso cup.
For the coating of our truffles, we can also choose hazelnut crumbs or a dark chocolate coating.
