Chocolate truffles
Ingredients:
- 300g double cream
- 50g butter
- 300g dark chocolate
- 30g cacao powder + more for coating
- 80g dark rum
Methods:
- Cut chocolate into small pieces.
- Gently heat the cream and butter cut into pieces until butter melts completely (that means the cream is hot enough to melt chocolate too).
- Remove from the heat, add all the chocolate and cacao powder into the cream, gently mix, let it sit and melt for a moment. Add rum and mix gently until all the chocolate has melted.
- Hand blender the mixture until it looks smooth and luxuriously glossy.
- Refrigerate the mixture until cold.
- Use a spoon and your hands to make small balls of chocolate mixture, arrange them on a plate.
- Refrigerate the plate with the truffles until cold.
- Put a bit of cacao powder in a jar, add several truffles, close the lid and gently shake to coat the truffles. Proceed until all the truffles are coated.
- Store them in the fridge and enjoy.
