How To Make frangelico chocolate truffles
-
Step 1Place the cream and butter into a small sauce pan and bring to the boil.
-
Step 2Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate and let set for about a minute and stir until smooth.
-
Step 3Add the liqueur into the chocolate and stir through. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool in the refrigerator enough to thicken slightly. Stir periodically to insure a smooth mixture
-
Step 4Once the chocolate is cooled down, they can be finished in two different ways 1) Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a star tip nozzle and pipe the truffles onto parchment paper and refrigerate. 2) Scoop a spoon full of the chocolate mixture into your hand ( wear plastic gloves to do this it is very messy) then quickly roll into a ball, once formed place them back into the refrigerator to firm back up while preparing your garnishes.
-
Step 5Set up assorted nuts, sprinkles or sugars into bowls and roll the chilled truffles into the assorted garnishes, place onto a parchment tray to firm up, and keep chilled until ready to serve.
-
Step 6The truffles can be arranged on a cold serving tray as desired.
