Kaju Katli Truffles are a modern twist on the classic Indian sweet Kaju Katli. Made with cashew fudge rolled into bite-sized balls and coated with chocolate, cocoa, or nuts, these truffles bring together the richness of Indian mithai and the elegance of international confectionery.
Kaju Katli, also known as Kaju Barfi, is one of the most cherished Indian sweets, especially during Diwali and weddings. Traditionally made with cashew powder, sugar, and ghee, it has a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
In this fusion-inspired recipe, the same cashew base is rolled into bite-sized truffles instead of being set into diamond shapes. These truffles are then coated or rolled in dark chocolate, cocoa powder, chopped pistachios, or desiccated coconut. The result is a luxurious mithai-meets-chocolate dessert that appeals to both traditional and modern palates.
Perfect for festive gifting, parties, or even as a special after-dinner indulgence, Kaju Katli Truffles not only look gourmet but are also surprisingly easy to make.
