For Valentine's Day- Crispy Crunchy Truffles
I don't like the same things as other people, and I don't like standard items either!! So this is my own variation on truffles.
I think that my method of adding cream to melted chocolate is more foolproof than the usual method of making chocolate ganache...?!
The top photo shows 3 types of truffles. The third one is a standard truffle with rum, so this time I have shown how to make the crispy truffles. For about 8 to 10 truffles. Recipe by *Anna*
Ingredients
-
For the milk chocolate truffles
-
2 bars Chocolate with crispy malt filling
-
50 ml Heavy cream
-
2 tsp Diced almonds
-
1 bar Milk chocolate
-
For the strawberry cream cheese truffles
-
2 bars Strawberry flavored chocolate with crispy malt filling
-
50 grams Cream cheese
-
1/2 Biscuits
-
1 bar White chocolate

1 Silver dragées
Cooking Instructions
-
1
Let's start with the milk chocolate truffles... Chop up the malt-filled chocolate bars finely, put into a heatproof container, and microwave until melted.
-
2
Mix until evenly dissolved, add the heavy cream and mix well.
-
3
Add the diced almonds and mix again. Chill for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture is of a consistency which can be formed easily.
-
4
While the milk chocolate truffle mixture is chilling, make the strawberry cream cheese version. Have the cream cheese at room temperature.
-
5
Chop up the strawberry chocolate bar in the same way, put into a heatproof container and microwave until melted.
-
6
Add the cream cheese to the melted chocolate and mix well. Crush the biscuit and mix it in too. Chill in the refrigerator.
-
7
Take out the milk chocolate truffle mix, scoop out bite sized portions using 2 spoons, and form into balls using plastic wrap.
-
8
When all the mixture has been formed into balls, dip into milk chocolate that has been chopped finely and melted in the microwave. Put the dipped truffles on a plate that is lined with plastic wrap.
-
9
Put the truffles in a clean bowl and roll them around until the surface is spiky. (If you have a mesh screen used for this purpose use that instead.)
-
10
When the chocolate has hardened, put the truffles into paper cups to finish.
-
11
Next, scoop and form the strawberry cream cheese truffles in the same way.
-
12
Dip them into white chocolate that has been chopped and melted in the microwave. Take them out using two forks and leave them on a plastic wrap-lined plate until the chocolate has hardened.
-
13
Decorate with silver dragées before the chocolate has set. Put into paper cups once set to finish.
