CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
INGREDIENTS
Makes 18 to 20 Truffles
5 MINS
35 MINS
225 grams of homemade base chocolate
2/3 cup of heavy cream
1 Tbsp homemade butter
1 Tsp good quality vanilla or use ½ tsp of the bean paste
METHOD
1. Chop the base chocolate into tiny bits with a serrated knife. This helps to melt it evenly
2. Place the chocolate in a heat resistant bowl. Add slightly warmed cream and butter to the chocolate. Let it rest for ten mins to allow all the chocolate to melt in the cream. This is your chocolate ganache.
3. Stir well to make sure the ganache is silky smooth and lump-free.
4. Add the vanilla, stir well and let it rest for upto 20 mins.
5. Use two teaspoons to scoop even amounts of chocolate. If the chocolate is cooled to room temperate it would be easy to roll without sticking to your palms.
6. Roll the balls with plain cocoa or any toppings you like.
