Raksha Bandhan Chocolate Truffles are delicious and softballs are perfect for special occasions. These are simple chocolaty balls prepared with white chocolate, cream, unsalted butter, condensed milk, and flavoured with coconut.
It’s yummy and perfect for kids. Even the garnishing is special. All the white chocolate truffles are garnished with various kinds of crumbs. I have used multi-colour confetti, oreo cookie crumb, digestive biscuit crumb, and shredded coconut.
Every bite will give you a different texture in the mouth. You can always serve it on some special occasions like festivals, birthday parties, and social gatherings or even present it as Valentine’s gift.
Who doesn’t like chocolate? Every kid in the house is mad behind the white chocolate and they will love it, even more, when the presentation is good. In fact, all women’s favourite food is chocolate. It completely satisfies your tastebuds and also gives you ooey-gooey feelings.
So, let’s try these Raksha Bandhan chocolate coconut truffles at home. It doesn’t take more than 30 minutes.
Dipping these truffles can be a messy affair. Therefore, before making the truffles, make sure you freeze them for at least 1 hour. The texture will become stiffer so you can roll the balls and then present them with your favourite garnishing ingredients.
Moreover, instead of using a spoon to dip the balls in the melted chocolate bowl, you use a fork. The reason is that it will not use more melted chocolate than necessary over one ball. The extra chocolate will slip off from between the gaps of the tines.
However, if you deliberately want to have more chocolate then definitely use a spoon. Or to make the truffles extra sweet dip them in white chocolate rather than regular or dark chocolate.
These truffles are not only an easy recipe with fewer ingredients but also flexible as well. There are endless possibilities to experiment with and customise these chocolate truffles by changing the ingredients.
You can add any fruit as the main ingredient to dominate the flavour. Or you can also add the digestive biscuits or oreo biscuits crumbs to the mixture. Add peppermint for a peppermint chocolate truffle. Keep coffee as the dominant flavour in them and it will be tiramisu truffles. For more ideas, you can refer to this article.
In fact, you can even make these truffles in vegan form. Replace every dairy product with its dairy-free or vegan counterpart. Instead of milk (if you are using) use coconut milk. There are also vegan chocolates available in the market. Similarly, there is also a vegan option available for condensed milk. This way you can make vegan chocolate truffles.
You would definitely want to eat them till you have gobbled the last bits of this sweet delight. However, they can only last up to a certain period of time.
If you store them in an airtight container and put them away in a refrigerator these will remain edible for a week. Yet we advise you to finish them before that, as soon as you can.
