“The yummy delicacies, colourful surroundings and positive vibes all around make #MakarSankranti a tad bit special for me. So, today’s recipe is White Chocolate and Sesame Seed Truffle… made by adding a twist to the Til Gud laddoos,” she wrote in the caption. “It’s a simple 4-ingredient recipe and is super easy to make,” she further added.

In the clip, Shilpa Shetty explained how to make the interesting Makar Sankranti recipe. First, she melted some white chocolate using a double boiler method. Then, she added some butter and tahini to the mixture and left it to set for about 45 minutes. After this, the white chocolate truffle balls were moulded using the hands. Shilpa Shetty then rolled them around in toasted sesame seeds to make simple 4-ingredient white chocolate and sesame truffle balls!
