Chocolate truffles


Anyone for a chocolate truffle? These are absolutely delicious with pistachios and grated dark chocolate! Got the recipe from Cookbook for Girls. I changed it a bit.

You Will Need:
200g milk chocolate
100ml double cream
15g unsalted butter
A few drops of orange, vanilla or peppermint flavouring
Cocoa powder

Break the chocolate into small pieces in a bowl. Put the cream in a small saucepan with the butter and bring to the boil.
Immediately pour over the broken chocolate. Stir with a wooden spoon until all the mix has melted.
Stir in a few drops of orange or peppermint extract if using it. Cover and allow the mixture to cool for 30 minutes.
Chill in the refrigerator after that for about 2 hours. Use a teaspoon to scoop out bite-sized pieses. Sust your hands lightly with cocoa powder and roll into balls.
Immediately roll the truffles in nuts, coconut, or grated chocolate. Place into individual foil sweet cases and chill.
They will keep for up to 10 days.

ENJOY!
