Ingredients
6oz/170 g chocolate (I used a mix of dark+milk chocolate)
1/4cup/4 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
1/3cup/5.5 tbsp mashed banana (about half a banana)
Coating
8oz/225 g dark chocolate
1-2tspcoconut oiloptional
Instructions
Line a small loaf pan (8x4 inch) foil or plastic wrap. Place chopped chocolate and sweetened condensed milk on top of a double-boiler.
Heat while stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined. Stir in mashed banana or blend chocolate and banana in a food processor for a really smooth texture.
Pour into prepared pan and cover the top with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once set, lift out chocolate from pan and cut into 25-30 squares. Roll chocolate into balls and refrigerate until ready to use.
Melt the coating chocolate on top of a double-boiler (or in the microwave). Add a little shortening to thin the chocolate if necessary.
Using a fork (or dipping tool or spoon) dip the truffle balls into the melted chocolate and tap off excess. Place on a lined baking sheet.
