Cocoa truffles are delicious and indulgent treats. They are extremely easy to prepare, and you can make them with leftover sponge cake, pandoro, or finely broken cookies. I also recommend the chestnut truffles recipe, which is a must-try!
Finally, just add some cocoa, a few tablespoons of jam, and a bit of liqueur to the mixture. Shape the mixture into small balls by hand and roll them in chocolate sprinkles, and voilà, the truffles are ready.
They are definitely worth trying, but be careful, they can be addictive! 🙂
Let’s discover the recipe together, and I look forward to seeing you on my Facebook page, my Instagram profile, and my YouTube channel with my videos for a greeting and a comment.

Preparing Cocoa Truffles

Mix well until the dough is homogeneous, grab pieces of dough with your hands, shape them into small balls, roll them in chocolate sprinkles, and our chocolate truffles are ready!
Place them in paper cups and store in the fridge, but I’m sure you’ll taste them right away.

You can store them in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, for a couple of days.
