Instructions

1

Crush the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs.

Tip: The finer the crumbs, the smoother the truffle texture.
2

Mix in the confectioners' sugar and sifted cocoa powder.

Tip: Sifting prevents bitter cocoa lumps.
3

Melt the butter and pour it over the crumbs along with the milk and rum. Knead until combined.

Tip: The dry crumbs will absorb the liquid and swell into a soft dough.
4

With wet hands, roll into balls and coat in sprinkles.

Tip: Wet hands prevent the sticky, sugary mass from clinging to you.
5

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tip: Chilling firms up the butter, giving the balls a truffle-like consistency.

Recipe FAQ

The mixture is too soft to roll.
Chill it for 30 minutes. If still too soft, add more cookie crumbs.
