Making truffles from scratch can be time-consuming and sometimes daunting. We love the simplicity of this Chai Tea Turtle Truffle recipe, and the resulting flavor that’s deliciously complex.

Enjoy!

Author: Donna-Marie Ryan
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 36
Ingredients
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 Numi Organic Rooibos Chai Tea bags
  • 1 11-oz bag milk chocolate chips (we used Equal Exchange Organic Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips -- also delicious!)
  • ⅓ cup refrigerated caramel dip
  • 1¼ cup toasted nuts (pecans, almonds, walnuts, etc.), finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat cream in microwave for 1 minute. Add tea bags and let steep 2-3 minutes. Remove bags and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. Place the chocolate in a microwavable dish.
  3. Microwave for 1 minute and stir with a spoon. Keep microwaving and stirring every 30 seconds until chocolate can be completely stirred and is melted. Mix in the chai cream and microwave another 30 seconds.
  4. Add the refrigerated caramel dip to the chocolate mixture. Stir until smooth and combined.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  6. Using a teaspoon, remove and form 1 inch balls of the chocolate mixture. Roll with hands like a snow ball. Then roll in pecans. Place on wax paper.
  7. Truffles can be placed in paper / foil candy cups. Chill until ready to serve.

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
