Truffles

Recipe-Ingrediants

Fantastic truffles, little bites for treats, for parties, for birthdays, for school, for coffee time, for... cravings, these delicious truffles go everywhere! The ingredients are simple, the enjoyment is great. We can make them from leftover cake or traditional Greek New Year's cake (Vasilopita) or sweet bread (tsoureki) or follow the recipe from scratch! Here I am for both versions!
If we have leftover cake, Vasilopita, or tsoureki:
1. Crumble the cake into a bowl.
2. Add a little cognac (1-2 tsp), a little sweetened condensed milk, and mix.
3. The exact quantity depends on how much cake you have left. Add sparingly until it forms a tight mixture.
4. Place it in the refrigerator to cool.
5. Once cooled, take the mixture and shape it into small balls with your hands.
6. Dip them in melted chocolate and roll them in your preferred coating.
7. Place them on small papers if you want to share them or in a bowl to serve as treats.
