Chocolate and orange truffles
2011-11-14
Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped (NOVI)
- 2 tbsp orange liqueur (Gran marnier)
- Finely grated zest of an orange
- 120g unsalted butter
- 150ml double cream (ELMLEA)
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder and grated chocolate to decorate
Method
In a small saucepan, heat together the cream and butter until the butter has melted. Remove off the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate, orange zest and liqueur till you have a thick chocolate sauce. Pour into a bowl and chill for 2-3 hours for the chocolate to thicken to a paste. Using 2 teaspoons, mould small balls of the chocolate paste and roll them into the cocoa powder or the grated chocolate to coat all over. Carefully pick up the chocolate truffles and place on a clean tray and continue to chill in the fridge till they are ready to serve. Suggested accompanying wine: Grand vin de Hauteville Moscato D.O.K. Malta Liqueur wine
