Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- Ganache filling for top quality truffles (shelf life is up to 3 weeks). Advisable only in winter months.
- Double cream 120 g
- Milk/dark chocolate 240 g
- Unsalted butter 40 g
Method
Bring cream to near boiling (85* C), & stir in chocolate.
The mixture must be stirred well to ensure all the chocolate is melted to a homogenous mass.
Cool this chocolate mass to room temperature.
Then mix in butter (softened, not liquid) a little at a time.
Allow to stand overnight.
Use a little icing sugar to prevent the mixture sticking to your hands while you roll it into balls.
Coat with dark, milk or white chocolate.
