Serve


You can also dip the truffles in melted or tempered chocolate, or try adding add your own flavouring like vanilla, orange or ginger – or make them extra special by adding a few teaspoons of alcohol such as rum, whiskey or brandy.

For successful truffles use high quality chocolate, do not use chocolate chips as the mixture will not thicken. Chop the chocolate into very small pieces, the finer the chocolate chunks, the quicker they’ll melt into the warm cream.

Store truffles in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
