Time 35m

Yield Makes 35

Number Of Ingredients 6

150g dark chocolate, chopped
150g milk chocolate, chopped
150ml double cream
50g unsalted butter
cocoa powder, sprinkles, lustre powder, icing sugar, chopped nuts, for coating
flavourless oil (such as sunflower), for shaping

Steps:

  • Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl, then put the cream and butter in a pan and bring to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until it melts. Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge for 7 hrs.
  • Put the coatings into separate bowls. To shape the truffles, lightly rub your hands with flavourless oil and roll teaspoons of the truffle mix between your palms - this can get messy!
  • Gently roll the truffles in the bowl until evenly coated, then put in a box and chill. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for three days, or freeze for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
