How To Make Chocolate Truffles |Amazing DIY Christmas Gift


Makes 25 Truffles


Ingredients


250g x Dark Chocolate (70% Cocoa Solids)

170ml x Double/Heavy Cream

15g x Unsalted Butter

1tsp x Vanilla Extract


Toppings


Cocoa Powder, Crushed Nuts, Chocolate Flakes, Sprinkles, Melted Chocolate


Method


  1. To make the truffle mixture, place the cream in a saucepan and place it over low heat. As soon as it simmers, remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir until it fully melts under the residual heat. Place in the vanilla extract and butter and stir until the butter melts and the mixture looks glossy. 


  1. Pour the truffle mixture into a shallow dish or tray and place into the fridge until it sets. This will take roughly 1 hour. 


  1. Next, portion your truffles using a teaspoon (heaped). You should get 20 to 25 truffles depending on how big you make them. Roll them into the balls and if you find they have melted quite a bit, place them back into the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up a little bit. 


  1. Roll your truffles in your chosen toppings and enjoy!



Tom's Tips: Keep in the refrigerator for up to one week and in the freezer for three months using an airtight container. Take them out of the fridge 1 to 2 hours prior to serving, as chocolate truffles are ideally enjoyed at room temperature.
