- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon icing sugar
- 2 tablespoon dessicated coconut
- 2 tablespoon crispy cake crumbs
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler until completely melted.
- Use half of a vanilla cake recipe to make cake crumbs.

Notes
- For intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a minimum of 70% cacao.
- If your cake crumbs are too dry, add a teaspoon or two of milk or cream to the mixture to help bind them.
- To prevent the truffles from sticking to your hands, lightly grease your palms with vegetable oil before rolling.
