Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana mashed well
  • 1 cup biscuit crumbs such as digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 1/3 cup thick caramel or dulce de leche
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate or dark chocolate melted
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoother dipping
  • Crushed biscuits for topping
  • Banana chips finely crushed, optional
  • Caramel drizzle optional, for decoration

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the banana. Mash the ripe banana in a bowl until smooth. Try to remove large lumps so the truffle mixture rolls more easily.
  • Mix the creamy base. Add the caramel, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture looks smooth and evenly combined.
  • Add the biscuit crumbs. Stir in the biscuit crumbs a little at a time. The mixture should become thick, soft, and easy to scoop. If it feels too wet, add more crumbs one tablespoon at a time.
  • Chill the mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. This helps the filling firm up and makes shaping much easier.
  • Roll into balls. Scoop small portions and roll them between your hands. Aim for bite-sized truffles, about one tablespoon each.
  • Freeze briefly. Place the rolled balls on a lined tray and freeze them for 15–20 minutes. This helps them hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
  • Melt the chocolate. Melt the chocolate gently in short intervals, stirring often. Add coconut oil if you want a thinner, smoother coating.
  • Dip the truffles. Coat each chilled ball in melted chocolate. Let the extra chocolate drip off before placing it back on the tray.
  • Add toppings. Sprinkle crushed biscuits or banana chips on top before the chocolate sets. You can also drizzle caramel over the finished truffles.
  • Chill until set. Refrigerate the truffles until the chocolate shell is firm. Serve cold for the best texture.
