Skye's Raspberry Truffle Trifle Recipe





INGREDIENTS:


1 7-in sponge cake (purchased Angel Food Cake is fine)


1/2 cup Raspberry liqueur


1 cup Whipping cream (Cool Whip can be substituted)


.


Custard *See Note Below


3 c Milk


3/4 c Light cream


3 Eggs


1/2 c Granulated sugar


1/4 c All-purpose flour


3 tb Raspberry liqueur


1 1/2 ts Vanilla


.


Raspberry Sauce


2 bags Unsweeten frozen raspberries - thawed or 3 Cups of Fresh Raspberries


1/4 c icing or powdered sugar


2 tb Raspberry liqueur


.


Chocolate Truffle Sauce


8 oz Semisweet chocolate - coarsely chopped


3/4 c Whipping cream


1/4 c Raspberry liqueur


PREPARATION:


*Note about custard: 1 Large and 1 Small package of Jell-O Cook Style Vanilla Pudding mix can be sustituted, but remember to cut the liquid by 3 tablespoons to allow for Raspberry Liqueur, and use 3/4 cup of Light Cream to the total quantitiy of Jell-O box recipe liquid instead of all milk for a richer flavor and creamier consistency.


You'll want a 12-cup serving bowl.





:


In food processor or blender, puree raspberries and icing sugar. Strain. Stir in liqueur. ( Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)


Custard:


In large saucepan, heat milk and cream until hot. In bowl, beat eggs with sugar until light, about 3 minutes; whisk in flour until smooth. Pour in hot milk mixture, whisking constantly. Return to pan; cook, whisking constantly, until boiling. Stir in liqueur; simmer, whisking, for 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Pour into bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and let cool to room temperature. (Custard can be refrigerated for up to 8 hours.)


Chocolate Truffle Sauce:


In top of double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate, cream and liqueur, stirring. Let cool to room temperature.


Assembly:


Cut cake into 3 layers. Drizzle 1/2 cup Raspberry Sauce over bottom and sides of serving bowl. Place 1 cake layer on bottom; drizzle with 2 tbsp of the liqueur. Pour one-third of Custard over cake. Drizzle with one-third remaining Raspberry Sauce. Reserve 3 tbsp Chocolate Truffle Sauce for garnish; drizzle with one-third remaining Chocolate Truffle Sauce. Repeat with two more layers of cake, liqueur, custard and sauces. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 1 day. Whip cream; add remaining liqueur. Spread over top. Warm reserved Chocolate Truffle Sauce slightly; drizzle with fork over whipped cream. (as a note.. I generally use a pink tinted white chocolate instead of the chocolate sauce, but left the recipe for regular chocolate as most people like it that way best).

  • Cats
  • I need a recipe for chocolate truffles that uses only cream, butter, and hershey bars?

    Nothing else... I just can't remember the measurements. It involves chopping up the chocolate bars and then melting them with the butter and cream mixture... It's pretty simple.I need a recipe for chocolate truffles that uses only cream, butter, and hershey bars?
    I use this one! The only one I know.





    Chocolate Truffles


    Ingredients:


    3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter


    3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa


    1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)


    1 tablespoon vanilla extract


    Cocoa or powdered sugar


    Directions:


    1. Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat. Add cocoa; stir until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk; increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes or until mixture has pudding-like consistency and is smooth and glossy.





    2. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cover; refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or until firm. Shape into 1-1/4-inch balls; roll in cocoa or powdered sugar. Refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 hours. Store, covered, in refrigerator. About 2-1/2 dozen candies.








    VARIATIONS:





    NUT TRUFFLES: Add 3/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans to chocolate mixture when adding vanilla. (To toast pecans: Heat oven to 375掳F. Spread 3/4 cup pecan halves or pieces in single layer in ungreased shallow baking pan. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cool before chopping.





    RUM NUT TRUFFLES: Decrease vanilla to 1 teaspoon. Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons rum OR 1 teaspoon rum extract and nuts.





    ESPRESSO TRUFFLES: Decrease vanilla to 1 teaspoon. Stir in 1-1/4 teaspoons powdered instant espresso or instant coffee when adding vanilla. Roll balls in cocoa or chopped nuts.





    NUT-COATED TRUFFLES: Roll balls in chopped nuts.I need a recipe for chocolate truffles that uses only cream, butter, and hershey bars?
    You're going to make a ';Ganache';. You could actually skip


    the butter.


    Use a dark Hershey bar if you can, in fact use several, probably about a pound or two of choc. works best.


    Chop two pounds of chocolate into small pieces.


    Heat one cup of heavy cream in a heavy bottom sauce pan til almost boiling. Turn off, dump in the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a couple of minutes, then with a rubber spatula slowly mix the choc and hot cream til smooth.


    If there is not enough heat in the pot ( that's why a heavy bottom is good) put the pot in a large bowl of very hot water.


    When it's melted and very smooth pour/scrape this onto a sturdy metal pan, or heavy (big) plate with an edge.


    Let it cool- don't play with it.


    When cool use a small scoop,or teaspoon to make even scoops. With absolutely clean hands roll them into even balls , place on a clean plate.


    When done, put cocoa ( a few spoonfuls) in a paper bag.


    A few at a time put the truffles in the bag, shake gently, ( the bag, not you) . With tongs carefully remove them , keep cool in a covered tin. Little paper/foil cups keep them looking nice and special.


    You can add flavors very carefully. Very small amounts


    ( drops, not spoons, of really good quality essences like vanilla, rum, mint, orange are great.


    You can also add things to the chocolate like nuts, chopped mints, candied ginger or orange peel. It's fun to experiment, but do something simple first.


    Try not to eat them all at once.

    Do you know a simple and yet elegant dinner recipe with truffles?

    Truffles are best used as a finishing touch on sauces and dishes. I don't often splurge on a truffle but, one of my favorite is to shave it over home made fettucini alfredo. It elevates that dish from very good to divine. Truffles are very friendly to heavy cream, so most cream based sauces are improved with a truffle.Do you know a simple and yet elegant dinner recipe with truffles?
    I think you need to specify whether you're talking about white truffles or black truffles.





    White truffles are shaved over a simple dish, like soft scrambled eggs or risotto, right before eating, at the table.





    Black truffles generally get some heat treatment. I could try a roast chicken with truffle slices tucked under the skin. (Invest in a good organic chicken. No point in splurging on truffles and shorting yourself on the chicken)Do you know a simple and yet elegant dinner recipe with truffles?
    If you have truffles for dinner then its not going to be simple !!

    8 ounces good-quality semi- or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped


    4 ounces unsweetened chocolate


    8 tablespoons unsalted butter


    1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk


    Your choice of flavoring (see below)

    DIRECTIONS


    Heat chocolates, butter and milk in a pan until chocolates and butter are partially melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely melted. Whisk in desired flavoring until creamy-smooth.


    Transfer to a bowl and let stand until firm enough to hold its shape, about 2 hours.


    Using a tablespoon (a spring-action 1 Tb. scoop is ideal), mold chocolate into balls, 1 level Tb. at a time, and place on a cookie sheet lined with greased parchment paper.


    Place desired coating in a small bowl. Working one at a time, drop truffles into the bowl with greased fingertips. Shake bowl back and forth so truffles are completely coated. If necessary, roll truffles by hand to make round. Return to parchment. (Can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days or frozen up to 1 month.) Before serving, let stand at room temperature to soften slightly.








    Flavoring options


    Orange: 6 Tbs. orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier, and 1/2 tsp. finely grated orange zest


    Coffee: 6 Tbs. coffee-flavored liqueur, such as Kahluah and 1 tsp. instant coffee


    Raspberry: 6 Tbs. raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord


    Coating options


    1 cup of minced sweetened, flaked coconut


    1 cup of minced roasted pistachios


    1 cup of minced toasted walnuts


    1 cup of sifted unsweetened cocoa


    1 cup of sprinkles


    This recipe was originally featured in the USA WEEKEND article Easy Open House on December 12, 2004.Any good recipes for easy truffles?
    I've got a great recipe, actually--I just made them last week, and it was very easy:





    125gms/4 oz Butter


    3 teaspoons Cocoa powder


    250gms/8 oz Icing Sugar/Powdered Sugar


    1/2 teaspoon flavored essence e.g.: vanilla, raspberry, mint, strawberry


    own choice chopped: nuts, raisins, apricots, ginger, chocolate chips


    2 cups finely shredded coconut (optional)


    3 cups chocolate drops for dipping








    Cream the butter with the essence, till pale in color. Beat in cocoa powder, adding a little more if you want the mixture a darker color. Add the Iceing Sugar/powdered sugar, a 1/4 of a cup at a time till you get the mixture to the stiffness that you like. Then add what ever fruit and nut combination you want. Taste for flavour and add more essence if needed. Roll into teaspoon size balls, in the coconut and leave to go firm. To chocolate dip the truffels, freeze the coconut covered balls and then dip them in chocolate.

    3. Warm your mixing bowl to about 37C/99F or a little higher, it should feel hand hot.


    4. Heat your whipping or double cream gently until just boiling. Immediately drizzle a quarter of the cream into the centre of your chocolate. Mix the cream into the chocolate to make the ganache, add more cream a little at a time, gradually working outwards as the mixture develops just like mayonnaise.


    5. Blend in your softened butter when your mixture is just about 37C/99F. You should aim to achieve the consistency of mayonnaise to ensure a perfect result.


    6. Cool your mixture at 15C/59F, overnight in a cool airy room is best.


    7. Form your desired truffle shape.


    8. Dip into liquid tempered chocolate if you want to keep the truffles for more than two days and finally roll in cocoa powder. Or simply roll in cocoa powder and eat!

    HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES





    Tools:





    2-quart mixing bowl


    1-quart saucepan


    rubber spatula


    whisk or blender


    ice cream scoop or 12-inch pastry bag with plain, round pastry tip (1/2 inch opening)





    Preparation time:





    Prepare truffles day before serving to allow for adequate time to set.








    2 1/2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped


    1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream


    1 cup toasted, skinned finely ground hazelnuts


    3 to 4 tablespoons cocoa powder





    1. Place 1 pound of chocolate in a 2-quart mixing bowl. In a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a boil. Pour the cream into a bowl with the chocolate. Let the mixture stand for 1 minute, then stir together with a rubber spatula, whisk, or immersion blender until thoroughly blended.


    2. Mix in 3/4 cup of the hazelnuts and blend well. Cover the truffle cream, let cool to room temperature, and chill in the refrigerator until thick but not stiff (2 to 3 hours). Or let the truffle cream sit at room temperature for several hours or overnight until completely set and thick.





    3. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Fit a 12-inch pastry bag with a large, plain round pastry tip with a 1/2 inch opening and fill partway with the truffle cream. Holding the pastry bag 1 inch above the paper, pipe out mounds about 1 inch in diameter. Or, use a small ice cream scoop to form the mounds. Cover the mounds with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 2 hours or in the refrigerator for 6 hours.





    4. Dust your hands with cocoa powder and roll the mounds into balls. These will be the truffle centers. Cover and chill the centers for another 2 hours in the freezer.





    5. Remove the truffle centers from the freezer and bring to coolroom temperature so the outer coating wont crack when they are dipped. Line 2 more baking sheets with parchment of waxed paper. Melt and temper the remaining 1/2 pounds chocolate. Place a truffle into the tempered chocolate, coating it completely. With a dipper or fork, remove the center from the chocolate, carefully shake off the excess chocolate, and turn the truffle out onto the paper. After dipping 4 truffles, sprinkle a pinch of the remaining hazelnuts on top of them, before the chocolate sets up.





    6. Let the truffles set up at room temperature, or chill them in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes. When the truffles are set place them in paper candy cups. In a tightly covered container wrapped in several layers of aluminum foil, the truffles will keep for 1 month in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer.





    The truffles are best served at room temperature.





    Yield: 60 1-inch truffles








    Variations:





    Instead of dipping the truffles in tempered chocolate, roll them in a small bowl of cocoa powder, confectioners sugar, or finely chopped, toasted hazelnuts as soon as they are rolled into balls. Any nuts can be substituted for the hazelnuts, both inside and outside the truffles.


    - White Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles: Substitute white chocolate for the bittersweet chocolate and use 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream.





    - Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles: Substitute milk chocolate for the bittersweet chocolate and use 1 cup heavy whipping cream.





    - Milk Chocolate Almond Truffles: Substitute milk chocolate for the bittersweet chocolate, use 1 cup heavy whipping cream, substitute finely chopped almonds for the hazelnuts.





    - Praline Truffles: Substitute finely ground praline for the hazelnuts.

    Dark Chocolate Truffles Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence


    1/2 cup heavy cream


    8 ounces good-quality (70 percent) bittersweet chocolate, chopped


    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


    1 cup cocoa powder, for dusting





    In a saucepan, bring the cream just to a simmer over low heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate in a bowl and let stand about 10 minutes to melt the chocolate. Add the vanilla and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Then beat the chocolate at medium speed until it gets thick and light colored. Spread over the bottom of a baking dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate about 2 hours, until firm.


    Pour the cocoa powder onto a deep plate or shallow bowl. Use a melon baller or small ice cream scoop to scoop out balls of chocolate; place them on the plate with the cocoa powder and roll between 2 forks to completely coat with the cocoa powder. Then use the forks to carefully transfer them to a parchment or waxed paper lined baking sheet.

    Any good recipe to prepared FOIE-GRAS ??And what is TRUFFLE?

    Foie gras fans with mango


    Cut a mango into 1/5'; thick slices. Fan out three long pieces of foie gras atop the mango base. Bind it attractively with strips of duck prosciutto. Variations on this recipe include using white truffle oil, or chestnut honey, or rare roasted duck breast.





    Foie gras-Roquefort napoleons with fresh pear


    Poach the foie gras according to the recipe given above in Basic Information. Cool it immediately by shocking in ice water, pat dry, and marinate the liver in good Sauternes wine with a tablespoon of Cognac or brandy at least 24 hours in the refrigerator. Cut the foie gras into thick rounds, and place between sheets of freshly baked puff pastry with generous slices of brandy-sprinkled Comice or D'Anjou pears, cracked black pepper and crumbled Roquefort cheese. Serve with a light frisee salad dressed with verjus, wine-soaked golden raisins and crushed hazelnuts.





    Seared foie gras with lavender honey


    Infuse a pale, neutral flavored honey (though lavender honey is ideal if you can find it) with edible lavender blossoms. Make sure the blossoms you buy are food grade; the ones sold as potpourri are not edible. Add the blossoms to warmed honey and allow to stand in a cool, dark place for at least a week. Drizzle lavender honey over briefly seared medallions of foie gras. You can also marinate a poached foie gras in lavender honey spread thickly over the lobes of the liver.





    Foie gras crostini with truffled apples


    Simmer black truffle dice for about 15 minutes in just enough butter, cream and a touch of Sauternes or Semillon to cover the truffles. Slice and sautee crisp green apples very briefly in this sauce, about a minute - there should be a bit of crispness left in the apples. You want the end result to have very little liquid. Serve on mixed spring greens (I like frisee and baby oak) with rounds of poached foie gras and crisp crostini.





    Foie gras pudding with celeriac


    A remarkable property of celeriac is that it seems to partner foie gras and extend it considerably in a recipe - a steamed pudding made with half foie gras and half celeriac tastes as if the foie gras portion was much more generous than it actually was. Peel, cube and boil the tender heart of a celeriac root until it is completely soft. Pass it through a fine strainer to remove all traces of stringy fiber. Strain an equal amount of raw foie gras, and blend the two thoroughly. Add a teaspoon or two of brandy, and diced black truffles if your budget allows. Steam in the oven in individual crockpots placed in a bain-marie; cooking time will depend on the number and size of the pots, but I suggest 325 degrees for something like an hour.





    Truffle - Truffle oil is like an aphrodisiac! One whiff and the seductive smell sends me to heaven! I have personally taken a poll of my lady friends, and most feel the same way I do. So, what are you waiting for? Give truffle oil a try in your cooking. It is so gourmet!





    Truffle oil is created when truffles are soaked in olive oil. Before commercial truffle oil was introduced in the 1980s, chefs in Italy and France traditionally made their own by steeping tiny bits of fresh truffles in high-quality olive oil.





    Ways in which truffle oil can be used in your cooking are limited only by your imagination. Be sure and try out some of my favorite recipes below.Any good recipe to prepared FOIE-GRAS ??And what is TRUFFLE?
    FOIE GRAS TERRINE FROM JOHN NOVI





    1/2 lb. foie gras


    2 c. egg white


    White pepper to taste or use Tabasco


    2 tbsp. brandy


    Salt to taste


    2 tbsp. shallots, sauteed





    Break the liver in half and remove all the veins and excess fat. Save the best half for slicing and quick sauteing. Take the scraps and other whole pieces and put them in a blender. Add the egg whites, pepper, brandy, salt and shallots. Puree until smooth. Pour into 2 ounce individual molds or timbales and place in a water bath. Cover the dish, but leave space between the cover and the top of the timbales. Steam for 10 to 14 minutes on low heat until just lightly firm in the middle when touched.


    The mixture will rise like a souffle, but will settle and just fit the little molds. Be careful not to increase the heat, as they might ';blow up';. Oven temperature is 350 degrees for the first 10 minutes and 300 degrees for the remaining time.Any good recipe to prepared FOIE-GRAS ??And what is TRUFFLE?
    Foie gras is best on his own, as a block.


    You just serve it in big slices, with grapes and lettuce on the side.


    Toast some brown bread to go with but never EVER spread it on the bread. Just use some chunks on a piece of bread. You must fell it melt on your tongue (if it's good stuff).





    As for the truffle, well... It's quite expensive and rare. I've never cooked them.
    Have you been watching Top Chef? LOL





    Black Truffles are basically wild mushrooms





    I don't know about the Foie Gras, sorry

    Does anyone have any good fudge/chocolate truffles recipes?

    I'm intending to make my own wedding favours and I need some really nice recipes for fudge, chocolate truffles or anything similar. I was thinking about doing choc dipped strawberries but I want something that I can make a few days, or weeks early. Strawberries don't last long. I'd prefer something that I can make a few weeks early and put in the freezer if possible but it's not necessary. I want something that will be a hit. It doesn't have to be specifically fudge or truffles, cookies or anything else would definitely be considered. I just want something that is delicious. Thanks in advance!!Does anyone have any good fudge/chocolate truffles recipes?

    Do you have a fool proof truffle recipe?

    I want to make truffles to take to my boyfriend's parents on Thanksgiving, but I've never made them before. I saw this one that was basically oreos and cream cheese dipped in chocolate, but is there anything else? I'd give it a try this weekend, then make the real batch on Wednesday afternoon. They have to travel for 3 hours Wednesday night, but I could always bring a cooler. Oh, I'm only 19 so nothing with Brandy please. I've looked up some, but I was wondering if you guys have tried any personally.Do you have a fool proof truffle recipe?
    These look complicated - but really they are not. These are real French truffles too...





    20 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces (or semisweet chocolate chips)


    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened


    1 cup heavy cream





    MAKE THE FILLING: Place 8 ounces of the chocolate pieces and the butter in a large bowl. In a small saucepan over low heat, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and pour half the cream into the bowl.


    As the chocolate melts, slowly whisk the mixture together until smooth. Then gradually add the remaining cream until it's completely incorporated and the ganache is thick and shiny.


    FORM THE TRUFFLES: Pour the ganache into a 2-inch-deep baking pan, spread evenly, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until set (it should have the consistency of fudge). Using a melon baller or a small spoon, form rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Let the truffles harden in the freezer for about 15 minutes. After removing from the freezer, roll truffles between your hands into marble-size spheres, squeezing slightly (try to do this quickly, otherwise they'll become too soft). You can now dust the truffles with cocoa and serve them as is, but they'll hold their shape better if you coat them with chocolate first.


    MAKE THE COATING: Let the truffles rest in the freezer while you make the chocolate glaze. Place the remaining chocolate pieces in a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate starts to set at the edge of the bowl. Drop the truffles into the melted chocolate and retrieve them with a fork, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Garnish immediately or leave the truffles plain and proceed to step 5.


    GARNISH: For a nut garnish, roll the freshly coated truffles in a shallow dish of chopped nuts. For a sugar or cocoa garnish, set the freshly coated truffles on a plate and sift the garnish over them. Turn the truffles and sift again to cover completely.


    STORAGE: Place the truffles on the lined baking sheet and allow them to set in the refrigerator for 5 minutes. Truffles will keep for about 2 weeks, chilled or at room temperature, when stored in a tightly sealed container.








    Yield: Makes 35 to 45 truffles


    Do you have a fool proof truffle recipe?
    I make the oreo ones because they're easiest. You could always use mint oreos dipped in white chocolate and laced with dark chocolate as a contrast.





    EDIT: Michelle's recipe looks great! I can't have them though, way too much milk for me (mine have too much milk too).

    Easy OREO Truffles





    1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided


    1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened


    2 (8 ounce) packages BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted





    Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.


    Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.


    Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.


    Yield: 42 servings






    Ingredients~


    3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


    1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk


    1 tablespoon vanilla extract





    Directions~


    In large saucepan, melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Transfer the mixture into a medium bowl. Cover and chill 2 to 3 hours or until firm.


    Shape mixture into 1 inch balls; roll in desired covering and/or decorate them. Refrigerate in a tightly covered dish. Enjoy! :]
    INGREDIENTS :


    We recommend using Barry Callebaut for your chocolate truffles. There is nothing finer or richer. Buy it online - click here


    鈥?1 1/2 pounds of dark coverture for ganache


    鈥?1 1/2 pounds of dark tempered coverture for dipping


    鈥?1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream


    鈥?1/4 vanilla bean


    鈥?3 1/2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter (softened %26amp; 1/4'; cubed)


    鈥?2 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder


    THE PROCESS :


    1)


    Chop coverture as fine as possible. The best way to achieve the desired consistency for your chocolate truffles is using a food processor. The finer the better. As it starts to reduce it may start to melt which is ok. Place contents in large bowl.


    2)


    Drop vanilla bean into cream


    3)


    Bring cream to a boil. Let bubble and rise. Reduce to medium heat.


    4)


    Remove vanilla bean, slice down the center and scrape seed contents into the boiled cream. Stir well.


    5)


    Two tablespoons at a time, mix boiled cream into coverture using all of the cream. Mix until smooth.


    6)








    Equalize the temperature of the ganache by allowing to set for 20 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in a refrigerator.


    7)


    Add butter to the coverture and mix thoroughly until the mixture is consistent. Do not leave any lumps of butter.


    8)


    Place back in refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes. This will allow the ganache to stiffen slightly. The consistency you are looking for is that of a spreadable paste. Not to dense and not too runny but somewhere in between. Periodically check for the desired consistency.


    9)


    Spoon ganache into a pastry bag with a 1/2'; round tip. Pipe into balls on parchment or wax paper. This may take a few tries to get it down. Start with light pressure and increase as you lift up. Finish with a light squeeze.


    10)


    Allow ganache to set for a very minimum of 3 hours or up to 24 hours for best results. This is done to allow for proper crystallization.


    11)








    After setting period, temper the second 1 1/2 lbs of coverture. Dip centers into tempered coverture with fingers or circular dipping fork. Shake off excess.


    12)


    Immediately drop into a bowl containing the cocoa powder. Sift cocoa over the truffle but do not touch it until the coverture has had time to harden slightly. Finish by rolling with fingers in cocoa powder.



    Chocolate truffles





    9 ounces bittersweet chocolate (about 1.5 cups chopped)


    2/3 cup heavy cream


    1 tsp vanilla extract


    1/2 cup cocoa powder


    Baking sheet lined with aluminum foil


    Small saucepan


    Note also that these candies, like most truffles, require an extensive chilling period, so be sure to leave enough time when making them.

    Oreo Cookie 'Truffle' Recipe?

    Hi, I'm a big fan of the Oreo Cookie 'Truffle' Recipe (http://www.recipezaar.com/Oreo-Balls-520鈥?/a> but just wondered if you think it would be ok to add cherry brandy or something along that lines to the recipe to give it something extra? If so, would it be better to add it to the centre before it's set, or mix it in with the chocolate?





    Thanks





    xOreo Cookie 'Truffle' Recipe?
    You could add it to the truffle mixture or the chocolate or both.





    Microwave Melting Chocolate:





    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips using either the defrost setting or 10-percent power in the microwave. Microwave for 1 minute, then check and stir. If you need more time, do it in 10 to 20 seconds intervals and check and stir after each addition of microwave time. Remove the container from the microwave and stir the chocolate until completely melted. Baking chips and baking chocolate may appear formed and un-melted after heating but will become fluid after stirring. Blend in cream, brandy, liqueur, or coffee.Oreo Cookie 'Truffle' Recipe?
    YES!!

    chocolate truffles


    Makes 24


    Ready in 1 hour








    Ingredients


    200g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids is good)


    6 tablespoons strong, black coffee (such as espresso)


    2 tablespoons clear honey, such as acacia (nothing with too strong a flavour)


    Cocoa powder, to dust





    1. Melt your chocolate gently in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water before removing it and setting aside. At this stage, it should appear like a liquid pool of chocolate.





    2. Gently (it's always best to be gentle with this most delicate friend) pour in the coffee and, using a spatula, give it a slow turn of the bowl until the consistency thickens. The texture of the chocolate will start to seize and thicken almost instantly.





    3. Add the honey, a tablespoon at a time, slowly waltzing the chocolate around the bowl until you get a highly glossy lick of chocolate. The whole process will not take more than a couple of minutes.





    4. Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the truffle mixture has returned to a nearly solid form.





    5. Prepare a clean surface on which to roll out the truffles and sieve three generous tablespoons cocoa powder onto it.





    6. Scrape out a teaspoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand and roll into a marble-sized ball, then roll this through the cocoa powder until fully coated and pop into a bowl or jar.





    7. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used up and store the little marbles of wonder in the fridge.Good truffle recipe [20 char]?

    10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine


    3 tablespoons unsalted butter


    1/2 cup heavy cream


    1 tablespoon light corn syrup


    1/4 cup brandy


    1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder, finely chopped nuts, and/or toasted coconut, for coating truffles


    8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine


    Directions


    Place the 10 ounces of chocolate and butter in a medium size glass mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir, and repeat this process 1 more time. Set aside.





    Heat the heavy cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the melted chocolate mixture; let stand for 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir gently, starting in the middle of bowl and working in concentric circles until all chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently stir in the brandy. Pour the mixture into an 8 by 8-inch glass baking dish and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.





    Using a melon baller, scoop chocolate onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.





    Place the cocoa powder, nuts, and/or toasted coconut each in its own pie pan and set aside.





    In the meantime, place the 8 ounces of chocolate into a medium mixing bowl which is sitting on top of a heating pad lined bowl, with the heating pad set to medium. Depending on the heating pad, you may need to adjust the heat up or down. Stirring the chocolate occasionally, test the temperature of the chocolate and continue heating until it reaches 90 to 92 degrees F; do not allow the chocolate to go above 94 degrees F. If you do, the coating will not have a nice snap to it when you bite into the chocolate. Once you have reached the optimal temperature, adjust the heat to maintain it.





    Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and shape into balls by rolling between the palms of your hands. Use powder-free vinyl or latex gloves, if desired.





    Dip an ice cream scoop into the chocolate and turn upside down to remove excess chocolate. Place truffles 1 at time into the scoop and roll around until coated. Then place the truffle into the dish with either the cocoa powder, nuts or coconut. Move the truffle around to coat; leave truffle in the coating for 10 to 15 seconds before removing. In the meantime, continue placing the chocolate-coated truffles in the cocoa or other secondary coating. After 10 to 15 seconds, remove the truffle to a parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat until all truffles are coated. Allow to set in a cool dry place for at least 1 hour; or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    1 Bring cream to the boil and pour over dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Add brandy and stir until smooth and glossy, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Roll into small balls (2 tsp each), working quickly to avoid ganache becoming too warm and unworkable. Return to refrigerator for 2 hours to set.


    2 In a double boiler, melt milk chocolate then cool slightly. Using a fork, dip the ganache balls into the melted milk chocolate, shake to remove excess then dust in cocoa and return to refrigerator. Refrigerate overnight.

    Best chocolate truffle recipe?
    10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine


    3 tablespoons unsalted butter


    1/2 cup heavy cream


    1 tablespoon light corn syrup


    1/4 cup brandy


    1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder, finely chopped nuts, and/or toasted coconut, for coating truffles


    8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine








    Place the 10 ounces of chocolate and butter in a medium size glass mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir, and repeat this process 1 more time. Set aside.


    Heat the heavy cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the melted chocolate mixture; let stand for 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir gently, starting in the middle of bowl and working in concentric circles until all chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently stir in the brandy. Pour the mixture into an 8 by 8-inch glass baking dish and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.





    Using a melon baller, scoop chocolate onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.





    Place the cocoa powder, nuts, and/or toasted coconut each in its own pie pan and set aside.





    In the meantime, place the 8 ounces of chocolate into a medium mixing bowl which is sitting on top of a heating pad lined bowl, with the heating pad set to medium. Depending on the heating pad, you may need to adjust the heat up or down. Stirring the chocolate occasionally, test the temperature of the chocolate and continue heating until it reaches 90 to 92 degrees F; do not allow the chocolate to go above 94 degrees F. If you do, the coating will not have a nice snap to it when you bite into the chocolate. Once you have reached the optimal temperature, adjust the heat to maintain it.





    Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and shape into balls by rolling between the palms of your hands. Use powder-free vinyl or latex gloves, if desired.





    Dip an ice cream scoop into the chocolate and turn upside down to remove excess chocolate. Place truffles 1 at time into the scoop and roll around until coated. Then place the truffle into the dish with either the cocoa powder, nuts or coconut. Move the truffle around to coat; leave truffle in the coating for 10 to 15 seconds before removing. In the meantime, continue placing the chocolate-coated truffles in the cocoa or other secondary coating. After 10 to 15 seconds, remove the truffle to a parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat until all truffles are coated. Allow to set in a cool dry place for at least 1 hour; or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Truffles are best when served at room temperature.

    Easy Chocolate Truffle Recipe

    cocoa powder (not Dutch-Process), sifted


    2 tablespoons liqueur, optional





    1. Chop chocolate finely into1/4-inch pieces using a serrated knife; place in a large heat-proof bowl.





    Bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat; pour directly over chopped chocolate. Allow to sit for 10 minutes; use a rubber spatula to stir chocolate and cream until totally combined. Add liqueur, if desired, and stir to incorporate. Allow to sit at room temperature until just thickened, about 15 minutes.





    Pour ganache mixture into a shallow glass dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until mixture is very cold and set but still pliable, about 30 minutes.





    Using a small spoon, scoop out ganache into 1-inch nuggets; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes. Using fingertips to mold truffles into round shapes.

    Ingredients


    1 1/2 cups single cream


    1/2 cup hot espresso coffee


    29 ounces dark chocolate (recommended: cacao content of 70 percent or more)


    Cocoa Powder, for coating





    Directions


    In a saucepan slowly bring the cream to the boil. Turn off the heat and add the coffee and chocolate. Stir with a whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and the chocolate has melted. The liquid should have become slightly lighter and shinier at this stage. Pour into a jug and leave to cool for about 2 hours or until it has come down to room temperature. See Cook's note*.





    Beat the mixture with an electric whisk for about 1 minute or until it changes color.





    Line a square plastic container with baking paper and pour the chocolate mixture into it. Leave to set in the refrigerator for 2 hours. You can test this by pressing the top with your fingers. Run a spatula around the edges and lift the chocolate on the baking paper out of the dish and swiftly cut it lengthways into even strips of about 2/3-inch. Then cut these into cubes. Put cocoa powder into a flat dish and roll the cubes in it, making sure that they are well coated. The truffles can be kept for about 2 weeks.





    *Cook's note: Alternatively you can place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, giving it a stir every 10 minutes

    Do you have to use a different Truffles recipe if you plan to dip the truffles in Chocolate?

    I want to make Truffles and dip them in chocolate, but do I have to have a different recipe than the standard chocolate and condensed milk? Thank You!Do you have to use a different Truffles recipe if you plan to dip the truffles in Chocolate?
    Just make sure you chill them really, really well before dipping and keep the ones you're not working on chilled or you will have a mess. You might also experiment with using less condensed milk or cream to get a firmer consistency.Do you have to use a different Truffles recipe if you plan to dip the truffles in Chocolate?

    Not at all, but the dipping in chocolate might be overkill.

    Marvelous Chocolate Truffles





    Prep Time:20 min


    Start to Finish:1 hr 15 min


    Makes:15 candies





    6 ounces semisweet baking chocolate or white baking bars (white chocolate), chopped

    Chocolate Rum Truffles





    Prep: 1 hour





    Ingredients


    6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped


    1/4 cup butter


    3 tablespoons whipping cream


    1 beaten egg yolk


    3 teaspoons rum, brandy, or whipping cream


    1 pound chocolate-flavored candy coating, chopped


    Finely chopped pistachio nuts (optional)


    Vanilla-flavored or pink candy coating, melted, for decorating (optional)





    Directions


    1. Combine chocolate, butter, and the 3 tablespoons whipping cream in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted (about 10 minutes). Remove saucepan from heat.





    2. Gradually stir about half of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolk. Return egg mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove saucepan from heat.





    3. Stir in rum, brandy, or whipping cream. Transfer chocolate mixture to a small mixing bowl. Chill about 1 hour or until mixture is room temperature and smooth, stirring occasionally.





    4. Beat the cooled chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until slightly fluffy. Chill about 15 minutes or until mixture holds its shape. Drop mixture from a rounded teaspoon onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Chill about 30 minutes more or until firm. Shape into smooth balls with hands, working quickly so the truffles don't get too soft.





    5. Bring water to boiling in the bottom of a double boiler or a saucepan. Remove from heat. Place chopped chocolate-flavored candy coating in top of double boiler or in a heatproof bowl and set over the boiling water, making sure the bottom of the top pan is not touching the water. Stir frequently until coating melts. Or, melt coating in the microwave oven: In a 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe bowl, microwave candy coating on 100% power (high) for 2 minutes. Stir. If necessary, microwave 30 seconds more or until almost melted. Coating may not look melted until stirred.





    6. Drop truffles, one at a time, into melted candy coating; turn truffles with a large, long-tine fork to coat. Lift truffle out with the fork without piercing the centers; draw fork across rim of pan to remove excess coating. Invert truffles onto a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. If desired, twist fork slightly as candy falls to make a swirl on top.





    7. Let dipped truffles dry until candy coating hardens. If the candy coating becomes too thick while dipping, reheat it in the microwave. Or, for coating that's been melted in a double boiler, replace the cooled water with warm water. Stir coating constantly until it once again reaches dipping consistency.





    8. To decorate truffles, if desired, place melted vanilla-flavored or pink candy coating in a small, self-sealing plastic bag with a corner snipped off (opening should be very small) or a pastry bag fitted with a small, round tip. Pipe coating in a design atop truffles. Or, drizzle coating over truffles with a spoon. Let dry. Or, if desired, after chilling the shaped truffles for 30 minutes, roll them in finely chopped nuts instead of dipping them into melted chocolate. Makes about 30.





    Make-Ahead Tip: Store truffles, tightly covered, in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.

    The classic chocolate truffle starts with chocolate and cream. One pint of cream to two bags @ 12 ounces each of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. Bring cream to a simmer a few bubbles lazily popping up on the surface of the cream. Remove from the burner and add chocolate chips. Stir! until smooth. Add flavoring such as vanill or almond extract may be peppermint. Allow this mass to cool until it is fairly solid. Putting it in the fridge speeds this process. Scoop balls with a mini scooper or use a spoon to get a portion out. Shape into a ball %26amp; roll in cocoa powder. ( In France they use unsweetened cocoa). Or allow to cool and melt some more chocolate chips carefully so it doesn't burn. The microwave or a double boiler is best for this and dip the truffle centers place on a wire rack over wax paper or a baking pan and allow to drip and then store in fridge after they've cooled.
