Easy to make and delicious. Add the coating of your choice. I usually make a mix: some with just cacao, some with almonds etc etc.

Keep in the fridge.

Steps

1

Chop the chocolate into very small pieces. Put into a (heatproof) bowl.
2

Gently heat the cream - do not let it boil. If it does boil, it needs to cool before the next step.
3

Pour the cream over the chocolate. Stir until all the chocolate is melted and it’s smooth and glossy.
4

Put in the fridge until it’s set but you can still roll into truffles - about 1-2 hrs.
5

Prep whatever you want to roll the truffles in eg cacao powder, chopped hazelnuts etc. And prepare anything you want to add to the insides eg stem ginger etc.
6

Take a teaspoon of the chocolate mix, add any extra filling and roll into a ball. Then roll in your coating of choice. Put them on some baking paper then back in the fridge.
