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.
