Making Truffles
SAVOY TRUFFLE “you’ll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy truffle” the Beatles
Truffles are easy and decadent.
Simply, melted chocolate ( choose the best!) mixed with cream and butter. Chill, roll and coat.
THIS RECIPE CAN BE MADE IN THE MICROWAVE
MAKES 24 TRUFFLES
10 OZ DARK CHOCOLATE ( COOKING chocolate, not baking chocolate)
2 TB UNSALTED BUTTER
1/2 CUP CREAM
Combine in a non metallic bowl. Cover and micro wave in several short bursts. Stir until smooth, this is called a GANACHE.
Let it cool in the refrigerator for a few hours.
When cool, roll into bite sized balls and place back in the fridge while you assemble the coatings: cocoa or powdered sugar are popular, I use cocoa with a bit of chili!
Keep the mixture super cold while coating, then place immediately back into the fridge until time to serve…..share and enjoy!
