Ingredients
Scale
Motichoor Ladoos
- 250 grams Motichoor Laddus (homemade or store-bought)
Coating
- 200 grams White Chocolate (semisweet chocolate can be used as an alternative)
Topping
- 50 grams Chopped Nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews; customizable)
Optional Decoration
- 1 sheet Edible Silver Leaf
Instructions
- Freeze the Ladoos: Arrange the motichoor ladoos on a lined plate or tray and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This step firms them up to make coating easier.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place a heat-resistant bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Add the chopped white chocolate and stir gently until it’s almost melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
- Coat the Ladoos: Remove the firm ladoos from the freezer one by one and dip each into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coating. Gently tap off any excess chocolate to avoid dripping.
- Add Nuts Topping: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle chopped nuts onto the coated ladoos so they stick well.
- Set the Truffles: Place the coated truffles back onto the lined tray. Allow them to set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly before serving.
- Optional Decoration: If desired, apply small pieces of edible silver leaf on the set truffles for an elegant decorative touch.
Notes
- Freezing the ladoos helps in easier coating and prevents them from crumbling.
- You can substitute semisweet chocolate for white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Chopped nuts can be customized according to your preferences or dietary needs.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- The edible silver leaf is purely decorative and optional.
