Creamy Chocolate Truffles

Truffles for a special occasion!

If you have never made Truffles before, you wouldn't believe how easy they are to make.

Ingredients

275g dark chocolate with a minimum of 60% cocoa (broken into pieces)

250ml double cream

50g unsalted butter (room temperature)

50g cocoa powder

Place the chocolate into a large bowl.

Bring the cream to the boil on the stove, then pour it over the chocolate until it melts.

Let cool for 2 minutes until adding the butter in two stages.

Once the butter has been stirred into the mixture it should look glassy and smooth.

Put the truffle mixture into the fridge for at at least 4 hours, so it can become solid.

Even better if you could leave it in the fridge over night.

Once you remove the mixture from the fridge let it stand for about 15 minutes.

Put the cocoa powder into a bowl. Ensure your hands are dry and cover the palms of your hands in the powder. This will make it easier to form the mixture into little balls.

Finish it off by rolling the ball in the powder mixture, then by tossing it in your hands to remove the access powder.

Repeat until the mixture is finished.

So easy!! - Enjoy with some strawberries! :)
