Milk Chocolate Chai Truffles
These truffles are based on our famous Chai cake flavor. The warmth of the spices – cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg – pair fabulously with creamy milk chocolate, for a super satisfying sugar rush.

Ingredients
- 10-11 oz Good Quality Milk Chocolate Chips
- ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tablespoon Instant Tea Powder
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon Cloves
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- Cocoa to roll them in
Instructions
- Place chocolate chips into a glass mixing bowl, and put aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, tea powder, and spices, whisking to combine. Heat to a boil, remove from heat.
- Pour hot cream mixture into bowl of chocolate chips. Let sit for 3-5 minutes.
- Starting in the middle of the bowl, slowly start stirring the chocolate and cream until all of the chocolate is melted and the cream has disappeared into it – it should be smooth.
- Cover with plastic wrap, preferably resting right on top of the surface – this prevents a skin from forming while it cools.
- Chill in the fridge for at least an hour or two, until it’s pretty solid.
- Once solid, scoop out small amounts (a teaspoon or two), and roll them into balls. Try to handle the chocolate as quickly as possible, or it will melt.
- Once all of the ganache is rolled into balls: wash and dry hands, then roll ganache centers in cocoa, or whichever other truffle coating(s) you’d like.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
