Chocolate Truffles: Great For Homemade Christmas Gifts:
Great for presents to make for someone special.
Ingredients:
150g plain chocolate
150ml thick double cream
25g unsalted butter
2 tablespoons rum or brandy
1 tablespoon Greek Yoghurt
Sweet paper or petit fours cases
25g of any of the following:
Whitworths Chopped Almonds
*Whitworths Chopped Hazelnuts
Whitworths Toasted Chopped Mixed Nuts
*Whitworths Flaked Almonds, roughly chopped
Method:
1.) Firstly, break the chocolate into small pieces and grind it in a food processor or grate until very fine.
2.) In a pan simmer the cream, butter, and rum or brandy. Add the chocolate and mix off the heat until smooth. Add the yoghurt and stir in.
3.) Transfer the mixture into a bowl, cover with cling film and cool. Then leave in the fridge overnight, or simply place in the freezer for 1-2 hours until thickened.
4.) Take a teaspoon of the mixture and roll between your hands to create a ball shape. Roll each individual ball in the chosen chopped nuts to then place into the paper cases.
5.) This recipe should make approximately 40 truffles that can be put into boxes and given as Christmas gifts.
6.) They should be kept refrigerated and be eaten within three days. The truffles also freeze well.
Last but not least, enjoy.
