Recipe
Ingredients:
Banana and orange truffles
I love eating all kinds of fruits, except bananas. I mean I
love just the flavor of the bananas, in ice creams, frappe, and some cookies
but not as fruit. I can’t explain myself why but just that is the way it is. Is
that weird?
I tried these Banana truffles for the first time at a party and fell in love so deep that was trying to recreate them ever since. Finally I got to some sort of Banana truffle version that
I actually like. These little heavens are freezer friendly, so, I make them without any
special occasion and just freeze them for some future use. Then when I crave something sweet I just take 2-3. Actually, I love them most when they are between that freeze-room
temperature stage of defrosting.
You can dip them in chocolate whole or just a half, or roll
them into ground biscotti. If you decide to dip them in chocolate, the easiest
way is to make them into ball shapes, refrigerate and then dip them.
250 - 300g biscotti
100 g confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
2 bananas
1 fresh orange juice
1 tsp orange zest
200 g Butter
100 g Chocolate, melted
Method:
- First melt the butter and let it cool down.
- Meanwhile, mash the bananas together with the sugar. When done add the orange juice and zest, and butter (cold).
- Ground the biscotti and add them into banana mixture. Depend on how big your bananas or oranges are you can add more or less biscotti.
- To make the truffles: Using spoon or just your hands form ball shapes and roll them into ground biscotti or melted chocolate.
- Freeze, refrigerate or serve them immediately.
- Enjoy…
