HAPPY CHOCOLATE NEW YEAR!
Chocolate Truffles are simple way to enjoy rich chocolate flavor. You can choose whatever chocolate you prefer, milk, dark and very dark such like chocolate has cacao contents more than 70%. All you have to do is chopped chocolate and pour hot cream over it, and melt them until smooth. That is it. You may add small amount of quality butter, liquor, vanilla, tea and or mix in chopped nuts if you wish. And then mixture of the melted chocolate (ganache) refrigerate until firm about 30 minutes. When it has come firm enough to handle the ganache, you make round ball or rock shape, or of course uneven shape of truffle mushroom. You roll into cocoa powder or chopped nuts or dip in melted chocolate to coat exterior to make bonbons (good good). Let’s start making Truffles!

- 8 ounces (220 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup (70 ml) heavey cream
- 1 tablespoon unsulted butter
- 1 tablespoon dark rum, cognac or other your prefered liquor (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, shifted
- In a small saucepan, bring the cream and butter just to boil. Add liquor if you are adding. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate using a wooden spoon or a flexable spatula until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture (ganache) into a dry and clean bowl.
- Cool the ganache in the refrigerator until firm about 30 minutes.
- Using a melon baller or a teaspoon or your fingers, scoop the truffle ganache into small balls or rocks and place them on a plate and refrigerate until firm about 20-30 minutes.
- Roll each mound of truffle into the cocoa powder in a bowl or small baking pan.
- For Dark Chocolate covered truffles: melt 5 ounces dark chocolate with 2-3 tablespoons butter in a bowl, dip in a truffle using a dipping fork or slotted spoon and place on a large parchment paper on baking sheet or a platter. Repeat to enrobe the remaining truffles.
- Since all chocolate vary, some ganache may set up more firmly than others. You may adjust the portions of cream or butter next time you make, less or more. You may use chopped nuts or coconut flakes instead of cocoa powder if you wish.
