Servings: 22 truffles
Calories: 82kcal
Equipment
- 1 heatproof bowl
- 1 saucepan
Ingredients
- 7.9 oz dark chocolate 60% cocoa solids minimum,
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp. kirsch
- 5 glacè cherries finely diced.
Toppings
- cocoa powder
- powdered sugar
- chocolate strands
- chopped nuts
Instructions
- Finely chop the dark chocolate and place into a heatproof bowl.
- Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a saucepan, stirring constantly so that a skin doesn’t form on top of the cream. Once simmering, pour straight over the chocolate and whisk until all the chocolate has dissolved. If your chocolate needs a little help melting, microwave it in 10 second increments until the chocolate has just melted. Stir in the Kirsch and chopped cherries, then place the whole bowl into the fridge to set overnight.
- The next day, remove the bowl from the fridge and allow to warm just a little at room temperature, this will make the mixture easier to work with. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the mixture and roll into balls. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Roll each ball in the toppings of your choice, or leave plain. Store the truffles in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or at room temperature for a week.
