- ½ of a Pandoro cake {about 2 cups when crumbled}
- ¼ cup heavy cream {more or less as needed}
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup pistachios chopped
In a large bowl, break the Pandoro into small pieces and crumble it up with your hands.
Using a spoon, mix in the heavy cream a little at a time, until the mixtures becomes soft and stays together like a dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, make walnut-sized balls of dough, and roll them into the cocoa powder.
Put the chocolate chips in a small bowl, and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals until smooth and creamy.
Spoon a little bit of the chocolate on each truffle, and top with the chopped pistachios.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, and keep in fridge until ready to serve.
