Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the baking tray by lining it with greaseproof paper.
Crush the chocolate biscuits into fine crumbs and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Mix the crushed biscuits with dairy-free cream cheese and cocoa powder until sticky and uniform.
Roll portions of the mixture into balls and shape them into ovals to resemble pine cones.
Press cornflakes into the surface of each truffle to mimic pine cone scales.
Freeze the truffles for about 25 minutes or until firm.
Melt the dairy-free dark chocolate until smooth.
Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating evenly and shaking off excess.
Dust with icing sugar for a festive finish before serving.
