Earl Grey Tea Truffles Recipe

Easy Homemade Truffles

afternoon tea with no bake truffles

These Earl Grey tea truffles are delicious with afternoon tea or as dessert, so it’s great that they are easy to make using sugar cookies.

Yes, the base of the truffles is made from sugar cookies that have been crushed with a rolling pin.

You can use cookies that are homemade from scratch or baked from a tube.

Store bought cookies or even leftovers will work just fine.

These are dipped into white chocolate, but feel free to try other types of chocolate.

Dark chocolate or milk chocolate also do well with the earl grey infused truffle centers.

The tea that is added to this recipe needs to be brewed strong, so that the tea taste comes through.

My personal favorite tea for this is Sadaf Special Blend with Earl Grey, which can be purchased as loose leaf tea or in tea bags.

I’m an Earl Grey fan and used to be fine with just about any brand.

But once I tried Sadaf, I was hooked.

For me, the flavor of this tea is just the best, so now I always have a good supply of it on hand for both iced tea and hot tea.

And, now, for making truffles!

Enjoy!
