❤️ St. Valentine’s Chocolate Truffles ❤️

For this St. Valentine’s Day, we opted for these rich and yummy Dark Chocolate Truffles. This is a basic recipe that can be enriched adding chopped nuts, orange zest or a liquor of your choice. We added a touch of originality rolling them not only into cocoa powder, but also into raspberry, and coconut powder. To surprise your beloved let your imagination run wild!

INSTRUCTIONS

• Pour the dark chocolate and the diced butter into a heat proof bowl.
• Bring the fresh cream to a boil and pour it over the chocolate and butter. Add the vanilla essence and stir until smooth. At this stage you can add chopped nuts, orange zest or a little liqueur if you like.
• Let cool in the fridge until firm enough (around 2-4 hours, or overnight)
• Make small scoops with a mini ice cream scoop and roll into balls. Place a few spoons of good-quality cocoa powder ( or coconut powder/raspberry powder) into a small bowl. Add the truffles and roll in the cocoa powder.

• Keep in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to serve.

We wish you all a lovely St. Valentine’s Day! ❤️
