Rum Raisin Truffles

Rum Raisin Truffles

This recipe has been sitting printed out in my binder for nearly 8 years now, so I couldn’t find it online today to link up. But the gist of it is simple:

Crushed/powdered Speculoos biscuits – recipe says 100g, I used the whole package

200 ml heavy cream or soya cream (vegan)

200 g dark chocolate (chips or baking chocolate)

Raisins – a cup

Rum – to cover the raisins and soak them in overnight

After the raisins have plumped up from the overnight Rum bath and you have consumed the leftover rum :), melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or in a baine marie, mix with warmed up heavy cream and the crushed speculoos, fold in the raisins, and leave the mix in the fridge to harden. When it is firm, start rolling balls (this is a messy business), and then dust the balls with cocoa powder, or sugar, or coconut, or whatever your heart desires.

Truth be told – the chocolate overwhelms the rum flavor, so next time, I will add less chocolate so these could be more like “blondie” truffles.

I will keep looking for the original recipe and post an update!
