HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES RECIPE



Homemade Chocolate Truffles Recipe image

These homemade chocolate truffles are extra creamy with the addition of butter. After mixing the ingredients together, let the mixture set in the refrigerator, then roll into balls. You can coat in your favorite toppings and add lots of fun flavors, too! The mixture gets a little sticky, so refer back to my tips in the blog post above.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

two 4-ounce quality chocolate bars (226g), very finely chopped*
2/3 cup (160ml) heavy cream*
optional: 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
optional: 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
toppings: unsweetened cocoa powder, sprinkles, crushed nuts, melted or tempered chocolate

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the heavy cream until it is simmering. You can heat it on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Add the butter, if using, to the chocolate and pour the heavy cream evenly on top. Let the warm cream and chocolate sit for 5 minutes minutes. Add the vanilla extract then stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface (to avoid condensation) and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Tip: Pour into a flat shallow dish, such as a 8×8 inch baking pan, so the mixture evenly and quickly sets.
  • Scoop the set truffle mixture into 2 teaspoon-sized mounds. This cookie scoop is the perfect size. For larger truffles, 1 Tablespoon size mounds. Roll each into balls. This gets a little sticky, so see my tips above.
  • Roll each into toppings, if desired. Truffles taste best at room temperature!
  • Cover tightly and store truffles at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

For these five-ingredient truffles, it takes only a few minutes to whip up a batch of rich ganache from heavy cream and semisweet chocolate. After pouring the mixture into a pan and chilling, you can choose to take the easy route and simply cut them into bite-size squares, or roll up your sleeves and form them into beautiful bonbons.

Provided by NicoleMcmom

Time 1h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix
⅔ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 large eggs
1 (4.6 ounce) package creme de menthe thins (such as Andes®)
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
green and while candy sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir 50 strokes with a spoon. Spread into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 28 to 31 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Break up warm brownies into a large bowl. Roughly chop mint thins and add to the bowl; stir until well combined, allowing the brownies' heat to slightly melt the chocolate.
  • Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, pressing firmly so they hold together. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Combine chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
  • Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate and turn with a fork to coat. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place dipped truffles onto a tray lined with waxed or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Refrigerate for 5 minutes (or let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes) until chocolate has set.

SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



Super Easy Chocolate Truffles image

This is a wonderful truffle recipe: It's very quick to put together and still tastes like a ton of work went into it. It can be easily varied by subbing any other alcohol or flavoured-syrup for the rum.

Categories     Candy

Time 30m

Yield 28 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 10

150 g milk chocolate
50 g soft butter
25 g sweetened cocoa powder or 25 g instant hot chocolate powder
1 tablespoon rum
chocolate, granules
sugar candy sprinkles
cocoa powder
cinnamon sugar
desiccated coconut or flaked coconut
chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Take 125g of the chocolate and grate it finely (Use a piece of paper to hold the chocolate so that it doesnt melt under your fingers). Chop the remaining 25g into small pieces.
  • Cream the butter (I used a spoon, but you may also use a hand-mixer). In portions add the grated and chopped chocolate as well as the chocolate/cocoa powder and the rum.
  • Form balls (about the size of a hazelnut) out of the mass (wash your hands with cold water if they get too warm to form the balls without melting all the chocolate) and roll them in your desired garnish (see above).
  • Place in candy wrappers and store in a box in a cool place (these will keep for up to 8 days).
