Choco Surprise (No cook-no bake)

Need to prepare a quick sweet-dish, out of ingredients available at home, which is a no cook - no bake variety? 

The recipe that follows is just that! 

I vaguely remember having made a Biscuit chilled cake long ago,( really long ago, I must have been in school ) and I also remember it was decently good to taste. With the recent cake baking bug that's bitten me, and having engaged into a conversion of the same subject with friends, expert tips came up that the humble Marie biscuits can be beautifully transformed into a super surprise. So,  I thought why not attempt to try out these surprise truffles.

I had some chocolate ganache, and thought this was the best way to use it up.

This was a trial and I had no exact measurements of the ingredients to be used. I was extremely happy with the results. It is definitely a surprise package! 

The recipe makes about 30 choco-surprise truffles and it took me just about 30 mins to get them ready. 

What goes in : 

Marie Buscuits - 25 nos,  powdered (it can be a coarse powder, but ensure that there are no big bits) 

Condensed Milk - 1/2 tin, approx 200g 

Cocoa powder - 3 tbsp - you can add more for a chocolatey flavour ( I used Chocolate Ganache)

Milk powder - 2 tbsp (optional) 

Milk - 3-4 tbsp (optional)

Dessicated Coconut - 5 tbsp - for the garnish 

How you make it : 

1. Take the powdered biscuits in a big mixing bowl. 
2. Add the Condensed Milk, Cocoa powder ( or Ganache ) 
3. Mix well till all the ingredients are incorporated well. 
4. If you fond the mixture dry, you may add some milk. Milk powder can be used to make the mixture stiff if you find it loose, and the milk powder also imparts a rich flavour. 
5. Since I had used Ganache made of semi-sweet chocolate, I did not add sugar at all. But if you use cocoa powder, you might want to add some powdered sugar. 
6. Nothing can go wrong in this recipe, you can add the cocoa and sugar to suit your taste. 
7. Once all ingredients are mixed well to a consistency where you can roll it into a small ball, and it retains its shape, its ready to be rolled. 
8. Roll away into lime sized balls or truffles. 
9. You might see a buttery sheen on the truffles and your palms. But don't worry, it will be absorbed by the biscuit mix. 
10. Once truffles are ready, roll them in dessicated coconut. That tastes great! 

Enjoy 

Additional Gyan: 

• Any biscuits that are less sweet and less buttery can be used. 
• You might want to skip the cocoa powder and rather add 4-5 tbsp dessicated coconut. Adjust the milk to moisten the mixture. 
• You can add chopped nuts like Cashewnuts and Almonds if you wish
• Condensed milk can be made at home in less than 15 minutes. Will be posting the recipe soon. Stay tuned.
