Ingredients




For chocolate truffles:
200g (7oz) Dark Chocolate
200ml (6.8fl oz) Whipping Cream
For chocolate coating:
50g (1.8oz) Chocolate
100ml (3.4fl oz) Whipping Cream
Royal Icing or Melted White Chocolate for decorating (optional)

Preparation

1 Finely chop the chocolate (the smaller pieces the faster they melt) and place it into a heat proof bowl. 2 In a sauce pan, bring cream to a boil & pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes before stirring until completely smooth. 3 Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours. The chocolate needs to be firm enough so you can work with it. Form bite size balls using your hands (scoop each out with a melon scooper or a spoon). If you feel that the chocolate mix (ganache) is too sticky, place it back in the fridge for longer. 4 Once you have rolled all the balls, chill it in the fridge until firm. 5 Meanwhile prepare the chocolate for coating: Bring the cream to a boil and pour it over finely chopped chocolate. Make sure the chocolate is in a heat proof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes before stirring until smooth. 6 Let the chocolate cool down a bit before coating the truffles. To coat them simply dip them in the chocolate and take out using a fork or a spoon. Place them on a baking paper (make sure you have a chopping board or a tray underneath). Once done, put them in the fridge until completely set. 7 The post 2 Ingredient Dark Chocolate Truffles appeared first on HappyFoods Tube.
