Orange Chocolate Truffles
Yes... it's chocolate again... and I haven't been cooking for a while lately because of school and other stuff, I only made this because I was bored. Anyways these are my orange dark chocolate truffles, dark chocolate was too strong for me. I don't even know why I use dark chocolate, next time I'm using milk chocolate. The texture was good, it's like silk in your mouth, and it's very easy to make, it's one of the easiest things I've made, anywho enjoy the recipe. Oh and Christmas is coming up, so I'll be sure to post a few Christmas recipes.
Ingredients:
225g- Dark Chocolate (Good Quality, none of them Cadbury crap)
175mL- Thickened Cream
2Tbsp- Orange Juice
Lemon Rind
Icing Sugar to dust
Cocoa Powder for coating
Method:
Melt chocolate with a double boiler (baine marie) over medium heat. Turn heat down to low and pour in the thickened cream, use a spatula to mix through, and mixture will thicken and become glossy, mix in orange juice and rind. Take off from heat and let it cool in room temperature for 30 minutes and refridgerate for a further 1 hour. Once cooled, mixture could easily be handled by hand and not runny. Use teaspoon to scoop out the bite-sized pieces and roll with hands (clean first with cold water so chocolate doesn't melt fast or use gloves), then roll in cocoa powder and dust it with icing sugar. Serve with coffee or ice cream.
