Truffle Italian Pastry: Creamy and Crispy at Home

A recipe that promises to please those looking for a dessert with contrasting texture: truffle Italian straw. The sweet, which carries condensed milk, milk powder, dark chocolate and biscuit, results in a crispy shell on the outside and a creamy filling on the inside. The preparation, published by the portal Catraca Livre, does not require an oven and can be made at home with accessible ingredients.

The step by step begins with the chocolate truffle, which will then be wrapped in white cream. According to the source, it takes 100g of chocolate and 50g of cream. The chocolate should be chopped and melted together with the cream, in the microwave at intervals of 30 seconds or in a water bath.

How to make chocolate truffle

After melting the chocolate with the cream, the recipe guides you to add cream cheese and chocolate powder, mixing well until obtaining a homogeneous cream. This cream is transferred to a base shape and taken to the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the top is firm.

While the truffle cools, prepare the white cream. In a pan, with the heat off, mix one can of condensed milk (395g) and five tablespoons of powdered milk (50g) until dissolved. Then, add butter and turn on the low heat, always stirring until the cream gains consistency and release from the bottom of the pan.

Assembling and finishing the candy

When the white cream reaches the point, half of it is placed in a container lined with butter paper or smeared with butter. On top, enter the chocolate truffle already firm. The other half of the white cream covers the truffle, and the candy goes to the refrigerator for at least four hours to firm.

After that time, the candy is removed from the refractory, cut into small squares and each piece is passed through the chocolate cookie. The source did not detail the amount of biscuit needed, but it indicates that it must be crushed to tarnish the squares.

Tips for getting the texture right

The secret of truffle Italian straw is in the contrast: the white cream, made with condensed milk and milk powder, becomes soft and sweet, while the truffle layer brings the intense taste of chocolate a bit bitter. The biscuit cover adds immediate crunch.

For those who do not have a microwave, the recipe suggests melting the chocolate in a water bath, which ensures a greater control of the temperature. The refrigerator time is essential for the sweet to be firm and can be cut without decomposing.

Why this recipe is successful

Traditional Italian straw is already beloved at parties and snacks, but the truffle version elevates the dessert with an extra layer of flavor and texture. The combination of dark chocolate with the sweetness of condensed milk balances the palate, pleasing adults and children.

In addition, the recipe does not require advanced confectionery skills. Simply follow the steps of melting, baking the cream and layering. The result is a sweet that can be served in individual portions or as a dessert for the family.

For those looking for a home-made and economical option, truffled Italian straw is an alternative to industrialized truffles. The preparation yields several squares, which can be stored in the refrigerator and consumed throughout the week.
