Dan Cake Mini Rum Truffle Cakes 225g

Product Information

If you are making a smaller amount (like 1/2 of the recipe) warm up the cream and chocolate at the same time.

These are sticky and your hands will get a bit messy making them, so make sure you have everything ready to go before you make them! This recipe is very popular at Christmas, but I tend to make it any time I want something slightly different than just traditional chocolate truffles.

It is a funny cake mix to whip up, once everything is mixed together it turned in to a blob in the bowl. We prefer the rum balls or bourbon balls to be chewy and fudge-like, not dried out like the rum ball recipes that use nuts. Roll the truffles one at the time and roll them in the chocolate strands or cocoa powder straightaway. This recipe was easy to make , but I did not care for the taste of it; on the other hand, my husband loves these Bourbon balls and he ate 6 at one time and would of eaten the whole batch if I wasn’t standing there supervising. That photo was taken right after I made them, so they are now sitting in my freezer with the flavours melding together until Christmas.

Most of all, I love helping YOU get dinner ready because there's nothing more important than connecting with our loved ones around the dinner table!We recommend that you always check the packaging for allergen advice and talk to your doctor if you need any further food allergy advice. You might like to use catering gloves for rolling out the chocolate truffles, but other than that, no there is nothing special you will need for this recipe.

Dan Cake Rum Truffles are the perfect indulgence for those who want to savor the decadent taste of chocolate and the warmth of rum in every bite. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you always read the actual product label carefully before using or consuming any product. This recipe is also perfect for making cakesicles or cake pops, where you usually need more than just one batch.You can use a different type of alcohol, such as brandy, whiskey, or cognac, to infuse the truffles with different flavors. I love making homemade Christmas gifts – I’m not in any way a crafty person at all – my strengths lie in the kitchen! You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the chocolate mixture for extra flavor.

When you think about how much a standard box of gourmet chocolatescosts, you will kick yourself for not making these sooner. When the mixture is cool enough to hold its shape, scoop small balls of the chocolate onto a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper. I had to try one before letting them sit in the fridge – I could smell the bourbon but couldn’t taste it.You can swap the cake crumbs for biscuit/cookie crumbs if you like – I’ve used digestive biscuits and ginger nuts in the past. I am an experienced baker and made the cake, as per the attached link, and it turned out so spongy and springy with very little taste.
