Unknown


Recipe Introduction


These truffles need to be rolled in confectioners sugar (or cocoa powder) more than once. The truffle is moist and will absorb the powder. For best results, store in a container with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.


List of Ingredients




1/4 cup evaporated skimmed milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
16 graham crackers (2 1/2" squared)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Confectioners sugar, for garnish
Cocoa powder, for garnish

Recipe



In small saucepan, over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, corn syrup and instant coffee; stir constantly until coffee dissolves. Remove from heat; add extract and set aside.

In plastic bag, using rolling pin, crush graham crackers into medium-fine crumbs.

In large bowl, combine crumbs and cocoa powder; stir milk mixture into crumb mixture (mixture will be crumbly); press together with hands.

Using dampened hands, shape equally into 16 balls. On wax paper, roll balls in confectioners sugar or cocoa, if desired.
