A no bake dessert that is fast and pretty: Ricotta Truffles Recipe
Ricotta truffles are easy to make and you can use a variety of coatings according to your taste. It takes very little time and the only requirement is that they must be refrigerated until you serve them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup confectionary sugar
- 1 cup good quality cocoa powder (no sugar added)
- 1 7 oz. package shredded sweet coconut
- 1 lb. of whole milk ricotta
Directions
- PREPARATION
- Mix equal amounts of ricotta and powdered sugar and place the mixture in the refrigerator until it hardens to the point of being able to roll into a ball.
- ASSEMBLY
- Roll out into small balls the size of chocolate truffles. Roll 50% of them in the cocoa powder and 50% of them in the grated coconut. Keep them refrigerated until you are ready to serve them.
- NOTE
- It is possible to prepare them in the morning and serve in the evening. However, they will only stay a few days in the refrigerator and are never as good as when eaten the same day.
