Few desserts are as indulgent and irresistibly delicious as truffles. These creamy, bite-sized treats are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without overindulging. Today, we’re putting a delightful twist on the classic truffle recipe by infusing it with the rich flavors of German chocolate cake. These German Chocolate Cake Truffles are a decadent delight that will have you craving more.
**Ingredients:**
– 1 package of German chocolate cake mix
– 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
– 1 cup of shredded coconut
– 1 cup of chopped pecans
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
**Instructions:**
1. Prepare the German chocolate cake according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely.
2. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
3. Add the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the crumbled cake. Mix everything together until well combined.
4. Using your hands, roll the cake mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
6. Remove the cake balls from the fridge. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the truffle back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
7. Once all the truffles are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the fridge to allow the chocolate to set for about 15-20 minutes.
8. For an extra decorative touch, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the set truffles and top with additional shredded coconut or pecan pieces.
9. Once the chocolate has hardened, your German Chocolate Cake Truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
These German Chocolate Cake Truffles are a delightful treat that combines the rich, nutty flavors of German chocolate cake with the creamy texture of truffles.
