HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



How to Make Chocolate Truffles image

If you've never made homemade truffles before, these are way easier than you think, and make for an impressive edible gift. I ended up doing a gingerbread spice version, which is chef-speak for pumpkin spice, but the fun part is getting to flavor these any way you like! To guarantee the perfect ganache, use a scale to make sure you match 60% of the chocolate's weight in cream.

Categories     Desserts     Chocolate Dessert Recipes     Dark Chocolate

Time 1h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

326 grams dark chocolate chips
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch finely ground black pepper
1 tiny pinch salt
tiny pinch cayenne pepper
196 grams heavy cream
2 cups dark chocolate chips, or as needed
1 crispy gingersnap cookie

Steps:

  • Add chocolate chips to a heat-proof mixing bowl; add ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and cayenne. Heat cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Immediately remove from heat and pour hot cream over chocolate. Shake bowl slightly to fully cover the chocolate; let sit for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk until well combined and a thick, glossy ganache forms.
  • Cover ganache with plastic wrap and let cool to room temperature or until firm enough to scoop, about 15 minutes. Form about 2 teaspoons of the ganache into balls using a small sorbet scoop, or roll by hand. Place balls onto a baking sheet lined with silicone or parchment paper. Refrigerate until cold and firm, about 15 minutes, then re-roll as needed to smoothen.
  • Place a heat-proof bowl over a pot of hot water on the lowest heat settling. Add most of the chocolate chips, reserving about 1/3 cup, to the bowl and let melt, about 5 minutes. In the meantime, break gingersnap in half and place on a plate next to a microplane. Stir the reserved chocolate chips into the melted chocolate until they disappear. Remove from heat.
  • Dip truffles into the melted chocolate by hand or by holding each truffle with a fork and spooning the chocolate on top. Place truffles on the baking sheet and swirl the tops with your finger. Grate the gingersnap on top. Let truffles rest on the baking sheet until the coating dries and hardens completely, trimming away excess chocolate from the bases using the back of a knife if desired.

EASY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



Easy chocolate truffles image

Chocolate truffles, beautifully wrapped in boxes, will put a smile on anyone's face - and they're so easy to make

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Treat

Time 4h35m

Yield Makes 50 (easily doubled or halved)

Number Of Ingredients 3

300g good-quality dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids
300ml double cream
50g unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Chop the chocolate and tip into a large bowl. Put the cream and butter into a saucepan and heat gently until the butter melts and the cream reaches simmering point. Remove from heat, then pour over the chocolate. Stir the chocolate and cream together until you have a smooth mixture. Add any flavourings to the truffle mix at this stage (divide the mixture between bowls and mix in liqueurs or other flavourings, a tsp at a time, to taste. Try bourbon, Grand Marnier, coconut rum or the zest and juice of an orange), or leave plain. Cool and chill for at least 4 hrs.
  • To shape the truffles, dip a melon baller in hot water and scoop up balls of the mixture, then drop the truffles onto greaseproof paper. Or lightly coat your hands in flavourless oil (such as sunflower) and roll the truffles between your palms. You could also use a piping bag to pipe rounds onto baking parchment.
  • Coat your truffles immediately after shaping. Tip toppings into a bowl and gently roll the truffles until evenly coated, then chill on baking parchment. Try: crushed, shelled pistachio nuts; lightly toasted desiccated coconut; or roll a truffle flavoured with orange zest and juice in cocoa powder. To coat in chocolate, line a baking tray with baking parchment. Melt 100g milk, dark or white chocolate for 10 truffles. Allow chocolate to cool slightly. With a fork, pick up one truffle at a time and hold over the bowl of melted chocolate. Spoon the chocolate over the truffle until well-coated. Place on the baking tray, then chill.
  • To give as presents, place 8-10 truffles in individual foil or paper cases inside small, lined boxes tied with ribbon. Keep in the fridge until you're ready to give them. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for three days, or frozen for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge overnight.

Tips:

  • To make the truffles extra smooth, use a food processor or blender to grind the chocolate and nuts until they are very fine.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can grate the chocolate and nuts by hand. Just be sure to grate them very finely.
  • To make the truffles easier to roll, chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to roll, add a little more powdered sugar.
  • To make the truffles extra rich, use a high-quality chocolate. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • To add a little extra flavor to the truffles, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder, cinnamon, or vanilla extract to the mixture.
  • To make the truffles even more decadent, try dipping them in melted chocolate or white chocolate.

Truffles are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little practice, you can make truffles that are as good as, or even better than, those from a professional chocolatier.
