Home made Chocolate Truffles

Very quick & simple recipe

Makes about 30 truffles

Ingredients:

225 g dark chocolate (70 to 75 % cocoa)

250 g white chocolate for pastries

20 gr cocoa

120 ml double cream

30 ml orange liqueur (Cointreau)

Preparation:

Melt the dark chocolate separately and 225 gr of white chocolate in a double boiler and add half the cream and liqueur in each bowl of chocolate, and allow to cool, make balls of dough about the size of a walnut leaving the surface granulated. Grate the remaining 25 grams of white chocolate and cover the white truffles. Then roll the dark chocolate truffles in cocoa powder to have a nice coating.

Tips:

-       U can also toast some flaked almonds or crush unsalted pistachio and roll them around the dark chocolate truffles.

-       The choice of chocolate is personal, it depends on your taste. Personally I prefer to use Lindt or Poulain brands.

-       You can use Rum or Brandy instead of Cointreau.

Enjoy!!
