3-Ingredient Authentic Truffles
- 200 ml Heavy cream (organic, milk fat OK)
- 400 ml Bitter chocolate (whatever's bitter works)
- 50 ml Your choice of liquor (I used cointreau)
- 350 grams Chocolate for coating (anything's OK)
- Finely mince the chocolate.
- Heat the heavy cream directly on low heat.
- Once the sides of the pot begin to bubble add the minced chocolate.
- Stop the heat and allow the chocolate to melt completely.
- Once the chocolate is at about body temperature add the liquor and mix.
- From here you'll be making ganache.
- It requires whipping.
- Of course there's no problem if you do it manually.
- At any rate, please whip it.
- With a hand mixer it takes about 20 minutes.
- Please don't give up.
- Continue to mix as the chocolate becomes milk-chocolate-like white and peaks form.
- Scoop out with a spoon, and use your hand to quickly roll up into balls.
- Let cool in the refrigerator.
- Melt the coating chocolate then let cool.
- Aim for a temperature slightly warmer than body temperature.
- Coat the chocolate balls made in step 6 with the chocolate coating.
- Do one at a time, quickly.
- Cool and then it's complete.
- Using the amounts listed above I made this many truffles, with a diameter of 3 cm.
