How are we here at day 8 already? Madness! Today we have some gloriously dark chocolate truffles for you. These really are crazily dark and are perfect to be eaten along side a steaming mug of sugary black coffee! Add whatever flavourings you want to these truffles, we only used the basics as I am taking them to work for our Christmas brunch but you can add any alcohol or flavouring you could possibly wish for to these! They take around 2 hours to set in the fridge and then its time to get your hands messy! Makes about 25 truffles so please go ahead and enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 175g dark chocolate (we used Green and Blacks but maybe next time Lindt as it is slightly less bitter)-
- 125g dairy free margarine-
- 2 teaspoons of water-
- sugar for if the mix is too dark for you-
- liquor of your choice in the volume of your choice!-
- icing sugar for coating-
Method:
1) Melt the chocolate and the water together until thick and just melted.
2) Add in the butter and stir until fully melted in.
3) Add your sugar and liquor if you require and mix well.
4) Pop in the fridge for around 2 hours until mostly set but still quite pliable, use a teaspoon to scoop out an amount of truffle mixture, form in your hands until resembling a ball and roll in your icing sugar until fully coated! Put back in the fridge until set completely.
Take one of your truffles, bite in and enjoy!
Happy Baking!!
