I have been making these truffles for a while now.
-This is a simplified recipe to coat cocoa powder directly onto the truffles, but you can actually create a layer of chocolate by thinly coating the truffles with melted chocolate before coating with the cocoa powder.
-Coat the truffles again to make it more authentic.Step 1: Plastic wrap may be used as a substitute of the parchment paper.
Step 1: You can also use bitter chocolate. Reduce the amount of heavy cream when using milk chocolate. Please adjust the amount of brandy to your taste.
-Don't worry about adding mizuame if not available.
-Makes about 10 truffles with 3 bars of chocolate. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
