Over a year I made some chocolate truffles with my friend, they were really tasty, but took us forever to make. The recipe I used this time was way easier and quicker.
I made some vanilla truffles but you can make whatever flavour you want!
Ingredients:
250mL whipping cream
250g chocolate (I used 200g of milk and 25g of white, but you can use whatever you want)
Vanilla essence (or any flavour you want)
Toppings- I crushed some rich tea biscuits, and melted some chocolate
Method:
-heat the cream on a low heat until it reaches a simmer
-pour the heated cream over the chocolate, let it sit for a while then mix the cream and chocolate. The cream should melt the chocolate
-leave the mixture to come to room temperature, once it has put it in the fridge until set
-once the mixture has set roll into small balls (about the size of a teaspoon). Return the rolled balls to the fridge and let them set for about 30min
-prepare your toppings. I used a blender to finely grind some biscuits and melted some milk chocolate.
-I rolled half the truffles in the crushed biscuits, and covered the other half in melted chocolate. Dipping the truffles in chocolate can get messy, I used some cocktail forks, and placed a cooling rack over a tray to catch any drippings. Once the chocolate had set, I melted some white chocolate and drew some white lines on the half that I dipped in chocolate.
These are so rich so a little goes a long way. They are great for gifts and parties, they look like lots of effort has gone into them, when really not much has.
I will give some to my lift to hockey tomorrow morning, lucky whoever is picking me up :)
