You won’t believe how easy it is to prepare these yummiest, healthy truffles…if you make on special occasions, people will think you spent hours making these truffles but you only know how fun and easy it is to make!
I got inspired to make this sweet from Marzipan-almond paste. I decided to go for three nuts, almond, cashew and pistachio for this recipe and it is the best tasting nut sweet I have ever had.
Tri-Color Truffle
If you don't like nuts much, you can mix milk powder with the nut powders. During winter, I always have almond, cashew and pistachio meal/flour/powder ready bought form Trader Joe's and it makes lot more easier for me to put the recipes together.
