For the truffle bites

200g broken chocolate brownies
25ml cream or milk

To finish

100g chocolate, dark, milk or white

Creating the truffles

Wet your hands with warm water before rolling the bites to help prevent them sticking to your hands. Use a fork to dip the bites into the chocolate.

Step 1

For the truffle bites

Place the broken brownies into a food processor until they are reduced to crumbs.

Step 2

Add the double cream or milk and pulse a few times to bring together into a dough.

Step 3

Roll into 10 balls, approximately 10g each, and place on a tray in the fridge overnight.

Step 4

Melt your chosen chocolate and dip the chilled bites into it. Place on a tray and leave in the fridge to set before serving.

Step 5

To finish

If you fancy, you could decorate your truffles using different types of chocolate, nuts, or cocoa powder.
