Instructions:
- If you use chocolate bars instead of drops, break them into about 1"x1" pieces, put in stainless bowl
- Put cream into sauce pan and bring to a boil
- When slightly boiling, add butter, whisk briskly until all butter is melted, keep on whisking for about 2 minutes
- Add cream/butter mixture to the broken chocolate pieces
- Mix mass with spatula until well blended et voila, your ganache is almost ready for piping
- Put ganache in fridge until it starts to firm up, check every 10 minutes or and move mass with spatula
- Once the ganache is firm enough to pipe (not too liquid), put ganache with spatula in piping bag, cut the end to make about a ˝ inch whole, pipe ganache on grease proof paper in straight line
- Let ganache “stripes” rest for about 2 hours at room temperature, then cut into ˝ to 1 inch pieces
- Make a round ball by pushing the piece between index finger and thumb
- Put pieces in powder sugar mixture or cocoa and coat.
Your trufflies are now ready to be enjoyed
If not consumed immediately, they can be put in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week.
It is not recommended to use a mixer instead of a whisk
