Truffles

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces good dark chocolate, chopped (not below 60 percent cocoa, recommended: Valrhona)
  • 8 ounces heavy cream, scalded
  • cocoa powder
  • caramelized hazelnuts
  • crunchy pearls
  • rainbow sprinkles
  • crushed toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. Watch how to make this recipe.
  2. Completely melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Add the cream to a medium bowl and pour in the chocolate. Whisk the mixture very slowly creating a shiny, elastic emulsion. Refrigerate until firm.
  3. Remove the chilled ganache from the refrigerator. Scoop out little amounts onto a parchment or waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Immediately roll out each scoop into golf ball-sized pieces.
  4. Roll in the various coatings and arrange on a serving tray or store in the refrigerator, covered, until ready to serve.
