Easy and Basic Chocolate Truffles
You don’t need a special occasion to enjoy these delightful treats!
- 1 lb. chocolate in small pieces
- 1 C. whipping cream
- tempered chocolate
- Heat whipping cream, until it just begins to steam. Add chocolate and remove from heat. Stir until the chocolate is melted. If you need to put it back on the heat for a minute or two, that’s okay. Let cool.
- When the mixture is cooled, whip it with the mixer until light, 1 - 2 minutes. Let ripen on the counter at room temperature overnight.
- Make 1 inch balls. I use a scoop and then refrigerate for a few minutes to chill them, before I make the balls.
- Have ready 1 1/2 lbs. tempered chocolate or chocolate compound. Dip in the chocolate and let set to harden. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
Makes 40 - 50 truffles.
