Tips:

tiramisu nutella truffles

This recipe is incredibly easy, but for a perfect result you should reduce Ladifinger biscuits into a fine powder. I’ve used a food processor, but you can also put your biscuits into a ziplock bag, well close it, then using a rolling pin to crush them into very fine powder.

I suggest to chill the cookie mix before form into truffle balls, mostly if you live in a hot climate. I put my mix into freezer for 15 minutes: easy peasy!
