Perfect Christmas Treat:

Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

Makes about 25 Truffles

150g best quality dark chocolate

(70% cocoa solids)

150ml thick double cream

knob of unsalted butter

Suggested Flavourings

2 tablespoons of rum, brandy or liqueur,

Grated rind of Clementine,

2 tablespoons espresso strength coffee,

20g finely chopped preserved ginger

25g finely chopped hazelnuts

Method

1. Break the chocolate into thumbnail size pieces and place in a mixing bowl.

Bring cream to the boil in a small saucepan and immediately pour over chocolate.

Whisk the mixture and blend thoroughly  until all chocolate is melted.

2. Add any flavourings you are using and whisk these in. Allow the mixture (granache) to cool completely in the fridge until set.

3. Once cool use a teaspoon to spoon out enough granache for a truffle-approx 25mm diameter. Using the scooped and flat spatulas form the mixture into a ball shape and place on the non stick tray. Roll each truffle in a dusting of cocoa powder before carefully placing them in individual truffle cases.

4. These truffles are best served chilled and will keep for three days if stored in the fridge.
