  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 20-25 truffles

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 1 small cooking apple (approx. 75g/2.6oz)
  • 1 tbsp water (for cooking apple)

Truffle Base

  • 55 g (1/4 cup) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
  • 175 g (1 3/4 cups) all butter shortbread biscuits, finely crumbled
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) white chocolate, melted

Chocolate Coating

  • 200 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) white chocolate, melted
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Cook the apple: Peel the cooking apple and chop into small raisin-sized chunks. Place in a pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of water, cover with a lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened but not mushy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  2. Mix cream cheese and sugar: In a small bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until well mixed and smooth.
  3. Add crumbs, cinnamon, white chocolate, and apple: Stir in the crumbled shortbread biscuits and cinnamon. Then gently fold in the melted white chocolate and the cooled apple chunks. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Form truffles: After chilling, line a tray with baking parchment. Scoop heaped teaspoons of the mixture, roll each in your hands into a ball. Place on the parchment-lined tray. The mixture will be a bit sticky but should hold its shape. Return the tray to the fridge to chill for another 30 minutes.
  5. Coat with white chocolate: Remove the truffle balls from the fridge. Using a small fork, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, spooning chocolate over it to ensure full coverage. Lift the truffle out and let the excess chocolate drip off. Carefully transfer to a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Finish and set: Lightly sprinkle each coated truffle with cinnamon. Refrigerate again for 30 minutes until the chocolate coating has fully set. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use a small cooking apple variety for optimal flavor and softness when cooked.
  • Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Finely crumble the shortbread biscuits to achieve a smooth truffle texture.
  • Gently fold in the apple and melted chocolate to avoid breaking up the apple pieces too much.
  • Keep the truffles refrigerated until served to maintain their shape and flavor.
  • If white chocolate hardens too quickly during dipping, warm it slightly in the microwave in short bursts.
