Cooking Instructions
- 1
To make the ganache, pour the cream in a saucepan and heat on a low-medium heat until it starts to bubble and is slightly hot to touch.
- 2
Meanwhile break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl or container.
- 3
Once the cream is hot pour on to the chocolate and keep stirring until the chocolate has melted.
- 4
Pour in 1tsp (or more if you want a stronger flavour) of your choice. Suggestions: any kind of liquor, flavoured syrups (like the ones you get in coffee shops), port, coffee (cooled) or you could just leave them plain!
- 5
Pop the container into the fridge and leave overnight to set. When it is set it should be solid but soft enough to leave fingerprints in it.
- 6
The following day, put out a selection of plates with your chosen toppings on them. E.g. cocoa powder, chopped nuts, freeze dried strawberries/raspberries, desiccated coconut, chocolate shavings, edible glitter, edible stars or anything else you can think of!
- 7
Take the ganache out of the fridge and put 1tsp of it into your hands.
- 8
Roll it into a ball and then roll it around on one of your toppings plates
- 9
Place your truffle into a little paper or straight on to the plate if serving right away.
- 10
It’s a very messy job but lots of fun! Make sure you keep them in the fridge until you give them to someone or they’ll be all melty
- 11
Arrange nicely in a box and then enjoy!

Freely Adaptable! Easy Chocolate Truffles Freely Adaptable! Easy Chocolate Truffles
It's easy to remember the amount of the ingredients, so modifications are easy too.- I always use dark/black chocolate for making ganache.- The proportions of the ingredients for ganache are easy. If you use 100 g of chocolate, add half that amount of heavy cream (50 g). When you use 200 g of chocolate, add 100 ml of heavy cream. Recipe by FarmersK

I've been making these truffles ever since I was single and gave them a go with store-bought chocolate bars this time. Since these truffles aren't too sweet, my family really loves them.I used 2 bars of dark chocolate from Lawson for this recipe which weighed 75 g each.If you are using milk chocolate instead, please reduce the amount of cream to 75 ml.You don't have to add any mizuame if you don't have any.If you want to make more authentic truffles, give them a light coating of chocolate and freeze them before applying a thick layer of coating at the end.

Easy! Chocolate Macarons Easy! Chocolate Macarons
I love macarons and have tried various macaron recipes. These are convenient for Valentine's Day etc.The main tip is to pre-freeze your egg whites. Also be careful to follow the instructions when performing the macaronage. Also be sure to properly dry the macarons. If it's difficult to make them all the same size, before squeezing out the dough, draw small 2.5 cm circles on the underside of the parchment paper to make it easier. Recipe by kaorun92 -
Amaretto Chocolate Truffles Amaretto Chocolate Truffles
After some big mac food coma, I wanna take a step back and indulge myself with some chocolate dessert. A simple one actually. The 2 main base ingredients are equal parts chocolate and cream. But I like to add some flavorings to my chocolate truffles. Especially some liqueur, maybe champagne will be really nice too, and some cacao nibs for some bite.The trick is to add the cream 1 scoop at a time into the melted chocolate, combining and incorporating fully before adding another scoop. This will prevent the chocolate from splitting and seizing. Once all the cream has been fully incorporated, you can add all sorta flavorings you desired or even infusing the cream with some passionfruit will be awesome as well.After the chocolate truffles is rolled with some raw cacao powder, the best is to serve immediately. I find that the chocolate truffles will tend to melt away even if they are chilled in the fridge. Hmm... There're still lots of experimenting to be done before I can confirm the theory. Anyway, let's get started with the recipe.
