Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Roast Coconut

In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add ghee and lightly roast desiccated coconut while stirring continuously. This enhances its natural nutty flavour and removes excess moisture, creating a fragrant base for the truffles.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Mix Condensed Milk and Cardamom

Lower the flame and add condensed milk and cardamom powder. Stir constantly to combine and cook until the mixture thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan. This ensures a smooth, pliable texture for shaping the truffles.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Incorporate Nuts and Dried Fruits

Add chopped nuts and dried fruits into the mixture. Stir well to distribute evenly. The nuts provide crunch while dried fruits contribute natural sweetness and chewiness for a balanced bite.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Shape the Truffles

Allow the mixture to cool slightly until warm enough to handle. Wet your hands lightly and roll small portions into uniform bite-sized balls. Wet hands prevent sticking and give a smooth surface to the truffles.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Add Glitter Dust

Lightly dust each truffle with edible silver or gold glitter. This step adds festive sparkle, making the truffles visually appealing and perfect for Diwali celebrations or gifting.

Description - Step 6

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Place the truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps them firm up while preserving their shape and texture, ensuring they’re ready to enjoy or packed as gifts.
