Italian Chocolate Truffles (Tartufi al Cioccolato)
These Tartufi al Cioccolato are rich Italian chocolate truffles made with crushed biscotti, rum, and dark chocolate. An easy no-bake Italian dessert recipe perfect for holidays, gifting, or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 lb of biscotti
- 1 2 ounce bar of Dove Chocolate Discoveries milk chocolate melted (or your favorite baking chocolate)
- 3 tablespoons of rum
- 1 8 ounce package of the cinnamon dusted chocolate almonds
- 4 2 ounce bars of Dove Chocolate Discoveries dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Grind the cinnamon-dusted chocolate almonds in a food processor until fine. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the biscotti to a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
- Transfer the ground biscotti to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the melted milk chocolate and rum to the biscotti. Mix until fully combined and a dough forms.
- Roll the mixture into 2.5 cm (1-inch) balls. Try not to eat too many at this stage.
- Dip each ball into the melted dark chocolate until fully coated.
- Immediately roll the truffles in the ground chocolate almonds.
- Place on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Before serving, let the truffles come to room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Grind the biscotti very finely so the truffles hold together smoothly.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before mixing so it doesn’t separate.
- Use a small cookie scoop to keep the truffles uniform in size.
- Dip the truffles quickly and let excess chocolate drip off for a clean finish.
- Bring the tartufi to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
