    Thumbs up Chocolate Ganache Truffles

    OMG I just made these, and not only is it the cheapest recipe ever but soooooo yummy!

    Chocolate Ganache Truffles

    230gms Choc (I used 115 milk & 115 dark buds)
    30gms unsalted Butter
    180mls Cream
    2-3 tbs fave liquor

    Rolling Coatings:

    Crushed Biscuits (I use butternut.. think kingston... mmmm)
    Icing Sugar
    Cocoa (good cocoa!)
    Grated Chocolate (can be white, dark or milk or combo!)
    Shaved Chocolate
    Chocolate Flake crushed
    Chocolate Sprinkles
    Toasted chopped nuts

    Instructions:

    Measure out the choc in a bowl and set aside. In a saucepan melt the cream and butter together, just as it starts to bubble add the liquor of choice (I have done one batch with chambord raspberry liquor and one batch with frangelico hazelnut liquor). Then pour hot cream mix over the chocolate and stir till combined. Refrigerate till set (takes about 4 hours or overnight, or 1 hour in the freezer 2 or 3 in the fridge ). Then using a melon baller or truffle scoop, scoop out balls and put on greaseproof paper. Return to the fridge and organise your coating bowls/plates etc. I used Biscuits crumbs (butternut) and cocoa for the frangelico and I used icing sugar and chocolate sprinkles for the raspberry. You can get fancy and dip in melted chocolate and roll in nuts or crumbs or all sorts of things.

    Make about 30 small truffles.

    Ok well I did the mix twice and I have a few tips. DO NOT put it in the freezer, the condensation gets into the mix and makes it watery. And I'd also say maybe do 300 gms chocolate as I found they didn't set properly. Still tasted AMAZING! But just didn't set. I think I went a bit crazy with the liquer, so maybe stick to 2 Tbs. I'm going to remake these using another recipe...
