Cooking Instructions
- 1
First make the chhana or fresh cottage cheese. Bring the milk to a boil. Once the milk is bubbling away, add the calcium lactate powder, and turn down the flame. The milk will curdle and coagulate within seconds. Once the entire milk has coagulated and you see the cheese floating on clear whey. Drain the cheese.
- 2
Rinse the cheese under running water thoroughly. Tie it in a cheese cloth and hang to drain out the water, at least for a couple of hours.
- 3
In the meantime, chop the dark chocolate into small chunks and melt it using the double boiler method. Basically heat some water in a pan, slightly smaller than the bowl containing the chocolate. Once the water comes to a boil, lower heat and place the bowl of chocolate on the bowl of boiling water. Turn down the heat. The chocolate bowl mustn't touch the water. Keep stirring with a spatula until chocolate has melted.
- 4
To the melted chocolate add the cocoa powder and vanilla essence and keep aside. Reserve about 3 tablespoons in a separate bowl.
- 5
Once maximum water is drained out, tip the cheese on a flat surface and begin kneading it, pressing it down and forward with the heel of your palm, working it on the surface. The kneading is most important and the chhana or cottage cheese should be smooth, and almost like a fine paste at the end of it.
- 6
Add the melted chocolate (not the 3 tbsp you reserved separately) and condensed milk to the kneaded chhana and mix well.
- 7
Heat a heavy bottomed pan and tip the chhana mixture into it. Cook on medium heat until the mixture begins to leave the sides of the pan and come together as a ball.
- 8
Remove from heat, add the raisins and mix well. One it is cool enough to work with divide the chhana into 12 equal parts. Sculpt into round balls and slightly flatten each by patting softly with your fingers.
- 9
Dip half the balls in melted chocolate you had reserved separately and top it off with roasted slivered almonds.

Melty Chocolate Truffles Melty Chocolate Truffles
I've made various types of chocolate for Valentines day over the years, but this simple chocolate truffle was the most well-received so this has become the standard for our house over the past few years.A bento lunch box with a depth of 2 to 3 cm is best. Since fresh cream keeps it from getting too hard, I like putting it in the freezer. You can also store it in the freezer in zipper bags. When you want to eat it shake the bag to apply the cocoa powder. Recipe by Bi-jo -

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.

(Be careful not to burn yourself.) Recipe by cocoko -
