Chocolate Truffles with Dark Rum Recipe
Total time 6 hr · 20–25 truffles
Ingredients
Method
- First, chop the chocolate into very small pieces with a large sharp knife and put it in a large bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the cream with the honey, stirring constantly, until it boils.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and stir with a whisk until you have a smooth, even chocolate ganache.
- Add the butter, cut into cubes, and the dark rum, and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it onto the surface of the chocolate so there are no gaps.
- Put the chocolate ganache in the fridge for 6 hours to set.
- Take the bowl out of the fridge and put the cocoa in a deep plate.
- With a small spoon, scoop out small portions of ganache and roll them into little balls with your hands.
- TipWear gloves, so the heat of your hands doesn’t melt the chocolate.
- Drop the balls into the cocoa one at a time, shake to coat, then carefully place them on a plate.
- Keep the chocolate truffles in the fridge and take them out half an hour before serving.
