CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Roll Alton Brown's melt-in-your-mouth Chocolate Truffles from Food Network for a luxurious treat that works as a perfect gift.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 3h25m

Yield 30 to 35 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder, finely chopped nuts, and/or toasted coconut, for coating truffles
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine

Steps:

  • Place the 10 ounces of chocolate and butter in a medium size glass mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir, and repeat this process 1 more time. Set aside.
  • Heat the heavy cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the melted chocolate mixture; let stand for 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir gently, starting in the middle of bowl and working in concentric circles until all chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently stir in the brandy. Pour the mixture into an 8 by 8-inch glass baking dish and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Using a melon baller, scoop chocolate onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Place the cocoa powder, nuts, and/or toasted coconut each in its own pie pan and set aside.
  • In the meantime, place the 8 ounces of chocolate into a medium mixing bowl which is sitting on top of a heating pad lined bowl, with the heating pad set to medium. Depending on the heating pad, you may need to adjust the heat up or down. Stirring the chocolate occasionally, test the temperature of the chocolate and continue heating until it reaches 90 to 92 degrees F; do not allow the chocolate to go above 94 degrees F. If you do, the coating will not have a nice snap to it when you bite into the chocolate. Once you have reached the optimal temperature, adjust the heat to maintain it.
  • Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and shape into balls by rolling between the palms of your hands. Use powder-free vinyl or latex gloves, if desired.
  • Dip an ice cream scoop into the chocolate and turn upside down to remove excess chocolate. Place truffles 1 at time into the scoop and roll around until coated. Then place the truffle into the dish with either the cocoa powder, nuts or coconut. Move the truffle around to coat; leave truffle in the coating for 10 to 15 seconds before removing. In the meantime, continue placing the chocolate-coated truffles in the cocoa or other secondary coating. After 10 to 15 seconds, remove the truffle to a parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat until all truffles are coated. Allow to set in a cool dry place for at least 1 hour; or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Truffles are best when served at room temperature.

SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



Super Easy Chocolate Truffles image

This is a wonderful truffle recipe: It's very quick to put together and still tastes like a ton of work went into it. It can be easily varied by subbing any other alcohol or flavoured-syrup for the rum.

Provided by Lalaloula

Categories     Candy

Time 30m

Yield 28 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 10

150 g milk chocolate
50 g soft butter
25 g sweetened cocoa powder or 25 g instant hot chocolate powder
1 tablespoon rum
chocolate, granules
sugar candy sprinkles
cocoa powder
cinnamon sugar
desiccated coconut or flaked coconut
chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Take 125g of the chocolate and grate it finely (Use a piece of paper to hold the chocolate so that it doesnt melt under your fingers). Chop the remaining 25g into small pieces.
  • Cream the butter (I used a spoon, but you may also use a hand-mixer). In portions add the grated and chopped chocolate as well as the chocolate/cocoa powder and the rum.
  • Form balls (about the size of a hazelnut) out of the mass (wash your hands with cold water if they get too warm to form the balls without melting all the chocolate) and roll them in your desired garnish (see above).
  • Place in candy wrappers and store in a box in a cool place (these will keep for up to 8 days).

EASIEST CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



Easiest Chocolate Truffles image

Not an "authentic" Swiss truffle in that it lacks fresh cream, but a very easy and inexpensive treat that even small children would enjoy making with adult supervision. Plan for four hours refrigeration time. Recipe adapted from Extending The Table: A World Community Cookbook (1991) and submitted for Zaar World Tour II.

Categories     Candy

Time 15m

Yield 25-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons whole milk or 3 tablespoons half-and-half cream
6 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • Melt and stir together chocolate chips and milk in a double boiler over low heat (or use your microwave); add butter and stir briefly until it is melted; remove from heat; cover and refrigerate four hours or overnight.
  • Form chocolate mixture into small balls using a teaspoon and your fingers; the mixture will seem stiff at first but the heat from your fingers will soften it.
  • Roll truffles in your choice of cocoa powder, chopped nuts (hazelnuts would be a good choice as they are popular in Switzerland), powdered sugar, finely shredded coconut, chocolate sprinkles, or in melted and slightly cooled milk chocolate or white chocolate.
  • Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week.

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:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your truffles. Choose a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a glossy finish and a smooth texture. If you don't temper your chocolate, your truffles may be grainy or crumbly.
  • Chill your truffles before coating them: Chilling your truffles before coating them will help the coating to set more quickly and evenly.
  • Use a variety of coatings: You can coat your truffles in a variety of things, such as cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles. Get creative and have fun with it!
  • Store your truffles in the refrigerator: Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Bring them to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious and elegant chocolate truffles at home. These truffles are perfect for a special occasion or a sweet treat anytime. So next time you're looking for a decadent dessert, give these chocolate truffles a try. You won't be disappointed!
