Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 170 grams Heavy cream ( full fat, whipping cream)
- 300 grams dark chocolate (70% dark, chopped into bite sized.)
- unsweetened cocoa powder (just enough for coating)
Instructions
- Heat cream, until it bubbles.
- Pour the heated cream over chopped chocolate. Do not mix
- Let the chocolate be in the heated cream, when you see the chocolate melting into the cream. Use a spatula and mix very gently. This forms an emulsion( something that happens when the fat and liquid are mixed). This mixture is called truffle or ganache.This is what gives the truffles the melt in the mouth texture.
- Put the truffle mixture in the refrigerator, until the consitency is hard enough to form balls.
- Make them at a size you wish. Mine was ¾th of a table spoon. Use a scooper, else a stainless steel spoon should be good.
- Put the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Roll them on cocoa powder. and place them on the serving platter.
Notes
CHILLING NOTES
- Once it is mixed, let it sit at room temperature(this will take 5-6 hours or even more depending on the room temperature).
- To speed up - Put the truffle mixture in the refrigerator, until the consitency is hard enough to form balls.
- To super speed up - I suggest to put it in the freezer. And you can quickly roll them. But when you use this method. you will definitely put back the rolled truffles back into fridge, to avoid, truffles from sweating.
