Chocolate Truffle Recipe
From: Sarah Ozimek @ www.diynatural.com/homemade-chocolate-truffle-recipe/?
A homemade chocolate truffle recipe, because what says romance better than a box of chocolates? Made with natural ingredients and includes 7 custom flavors! Chocolate Truffles are made up of a chocolate ganache center that is coated in cocoa powder or some other coating, like chopped nuts, toasted coconut, or a layer of firm chocolate. The ganache base is incredibly easy to make using a high-quality chocolate bar and warm, heavy cream, but we’re taking things a bit further today so you have complete control over all the ingredients that go into this chocolate truffle recipe.
YIELD 16-18 (1 INCH) TRUFFLES
Ingredients
8 Tbsp butter
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup raw honey
½ cup + 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder (find organic cocoa here or organic cacao here)
2-3 tsp flavoring (zest, pure extract, liqueur, etc.) to taste
Coat as desired (cocoa powder, flaked coconut, crushed nuts)
Instructions
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream and honey.
Mix until the honey is dissolved.
Add the cocoa/cacao powder and mix until smooth and shiny.
Remove pan from the heat and mix in flavorings, if using.
(Alternatively, divide your ganache mixture into separate bowls and flavor each individually.
Just be sure to adjust the amount of flavoring necessary!)
Pour the chocolate ganache mixture into a bowl.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator and refrigerate until the chocolate has set, about 1 hour.
(Having to wait is the only bad part of this chocolate truffle recipe! LOL!)
Once the chocolate has set, scoop the ganache into 1 tablespoon balls, using a melon-baller or tablespoon measure.
(If the chocolate gets too soft to work with easily, put it back into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.)
Use your hands or a piece of wax paper to smooth each truffle into a round ball.
Place your coating in a small bowl or on a small plate. Roll the finished balls in the coating.
Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until you are ready to eat.
Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
