Get cooking!
You'll need:
140g dark chocolate, at least 70% cocoa solids (chopped)
142ml double cream
25g unsalted butter
Toppings
Pink Sugar, White Chocolate Stars, Crushed Pistachios, Edible Glitter.
Equipment
1 heart shaped ice-cube mould. (optional)
Will make about 10 truffles.
In saucepan melt together the double cream and unsalted butter. Take off the heat once the mixture starts to simmer.
In a bowl pour the cream mixture over the top of the dark chocolate pieces. Keep stirring until it has melted together. At this point you can add flavourings or liquers if you want flavoured chocolates.
If you want the truffles heart-shaped this is when you pop the mixture into the mould, I placed cake decorations such as white chocolate stars in first so they were part of the truffle.
If you want the truffles round pop them straight into the fridge. Leave the mixture to cool for about 4 hours. (This is where I failed and popped the treats out far too early.)
Once chilled, if you haven't put them in a mould then you'll need to shape them by hand. Coat your hands in a little oil and roll about 2 teaspoons of the mixture in your hands until round. Repeat until you have used up all of your mixture.
Once shaped coat immediately with toppings by tipping the toppings into a bowl and rolling the truffles in them. The toppings could be anything! Crushed Pistachios, Desicated Coconut, Drizzles White Chocolate - let your imagination go wild!
