Here’s for you all my recipe for delicious and simple chocolate truffles. Personally, I enjoy dark chocolate and find that a dark chocolate truffles are delicious when coated in milk chocolate. I prefer the filling to be dark chocolate to avoid them being overly sweet.

So here it is for you all to share and enjoy!

Chocolate truffles (approximately 35)

Ganache:

• 1 lbs. of dark chocolate
• 1 cup (250ml) heavy (35%) whipping cream

1. Bring cream just to a boil.
2. Pour it on the chocolate
3. Stir the chocolate and the cream until completely melted and smooth.
4. Transfer the ganache into a bowl and allow to cool for an hour.
5. Once cooled, use a melon scoop to portion 1.5 tbsp. portions of the ganache. If it doesn’t shape properly, use your hands to mould the truffles into little spheres.

* You can also add a hazelnut in the center of the truffle for an added element of surprise.

Chocolate coating:

• 400g milk chocolate

1. With a double boiler, melt the chocolate
2. Coat the ganache spheres with chocolate and allow to cool.

Various coatings:

This step is more for presentation than anything.

You can either roll the ganache spheres in coconut shavings, graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder or almond powder.
