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
- Bring cream just to a boil.
- Pour it on the chocolate
- Stir the chocolate and the cream until completely melted and smooth.
- Transfer the ganache into a bowl and allow to cool for an hour.
- 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
- With a double boiler, melt the chocolate
- 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.
