Indulge in the ultimate Christmas treat by infusing your favorite drink with store-bought cakes and a few simple ingredients. Perfect for gifting, just refrigerate before enjoying.
Ingredients:
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 230g (1 1/2 cups) icing sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) gin
  • 40.00 ml tonic water
  • 20.00 ml finely grated lemon rind
  • 2 x 450g madeira cakes
  • 2 x 290g packets white chocolate melts
  • Candied lemon peel, finely chopped, to decorate
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, gin, tonic, and lemon rind using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Then, crumble in the cakes and gently stir to combine.
  • Roll the mixture into level tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking paper-lined tray. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
  • Melt the white chocolate melts in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir with a metal spoon until smooth.
  • Dip each truffle in chocolate using a fork or truffle dipper, tap gently to remove excess chocolate, then place back on the tray. Top each truffle with candied lemon. Repeat this process for the rest of the truffles, chocolate, and candied peel. Chill for 30 minutes to set. Serve and enjoy!
