Vickys Easy Cake Truffles instructions

  1. Keep any chocolate cake offcuts in a bag in the freezer and just add to them whenever you make a cake! When you've got a decent bagful, whizz them up in a food processor.

  2. Bind them with a few tablespoons of buttercream. 40g butter to 90g icing / powdered sugar is a good mix for this but again, if you've made a cake and have leftover buttercream, freeze your leftovers as you only need a small amount of buttercream. Add some rum or orange extract to the buttercream before mixing with the cake crumbs. The new mixture needs to be stickier than cake pops and should hold together easily.

  3. Pack and roll into golf-sized balls.

  4. Roll in the chocolate strands - this is why you need a slightly sticky mix!.

  5. Place into paper cupcake cases to serve.

You can use milk/white chocolate, cocoa powder or desiccated coconut for coating as well. For an extra twist (optional) put an almond in the center or stir in couple drops of liquor like brandy or rum in sponge mixture. Basically you make a no-bake cheesecake and instead of spreading it into a graham cracker crust, you put the crust into the mixture, then roll it into truffles. Yup, break it up into your largest bowl and then go to town. You might have to get your hands a little dirty on this one but is is fun!
