Does anyone have a white chocolate and coconut cream filling recipe for truffles?

My sister had some coconut truffles with cream inside. The inside tasted like white chocolate and coconut cream. I can't eat anyting with little pieces, such as coconut flakes or crushed nuts so I had the cream filling, but it only amounted to about two heaping teasoonfuls. It was Very Very good. Buying the truffles just for the cream filling would be a waste, so could anybody send me some recipes to try and make a cream with a similiar taste?





Thank You,

    Rum Raisin Truffle





    Ingredients (for about 11/2 pounds):





    1 cup Cr猫me Fra卯che (or heavy cream)


    14 oz. Dark Chocolate (use very high quality, 70% cocoa, chocolate - or very high quality unsweetened baking chocolate.)


    8 oz. Additional Dark Chocolate


    11/2 cups Cocoa Powder (the highest quality you can find)


    1 cup Raisins


    1/2 cup Rum


    3 tbsp. Butter (optional)





    Batter (Ganache):





    Soak raisins in the rum in a small bowl for 2 hours. Make sure that the rum covers the raisins.


    Drain raisins and absorb extra liquid by wrapping them briefly in a paper towel.


    Break chocolate into small pieces and put in a large bowl.


    Bring cream slowly to a light boil.


    Pour boiling cream over chocolate and keep stirring until all the chocolate has melted and the batter is homogenous.


    Stir raisins into warm ganache.


    If you want to add butter, do so now, before the batter cools, and thickens.





    This batter is called Ganache and is the base for all French chocolate truffle recipes!





    When the ganache is warm it is very creamy. You can thicken it


    by whisking it (the oxygen causes it to thicken) or


    by putting it in the refrigerator.





    You want the ganache to be just thick enough to easily form the truffle balls鈥?br>




    Forming Truffles:





    Using two spoons (or a baking sac) form even and round balls. Place them on parchment or wax paper.


    Melt the rest of the chocolate in a bain-marie (double-boiler).


    Dip each ball in the melted chocolate and then roll it in the coffee powder.


    Voil脿!





    Serving Ideas:





    If you prefer to make this rum raisin truffles recipe with milk chocolate, go right ahead and substitute using the same quantities.

And I remember they started with a cake mix, baked in a loaf pan, then, when it cooled, we crumbled it, and mixed it with some other ingredients over heat, but I don't remember what they were, I think they were like cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and butter, but I'm not quite sure, Then they were covered in melted chocolate on teh outside. Anyone have a recipe like this? Please help me! I'm making them for a New mother and her family!Chocolate Truffle recipe?

    I made these to give out as Christmas presents a few years ago...Everyone loved them





    http://www.ghirardelli.com/bake/recipe.a鈥?/a>





    as for the coatings I tried a lot of things, crushed nuts, cocoa, mini chocolate chips, you could use heart sprinkles, ganache, whatever really





    I also used white chocolate in place of Chocolate so there was a big variety there
    ghirardelli's baking dark chocolate chips has a recipe on the back of the bag.


    It doesnt look hard. Just make sure to let the chocolate mix cool by itself (no fridge) - otherwise you'll have a tough time with the consistency...

    Truffles Recipe courtesy Sherry Yard, The Secrets of Baking





    The original chocolate truffle was a French confection meant to simulate the much-sought-after truffle fungus. They were rolled rough like the real fungus, not round, and covered in cocoa powder to replicate the dirt they grow in. (Whose idea was it to make people think they were eating dirt?) Chocolate truffles are a rich, decadent treat with a special elegance all their own. Don't be intimidated! Truffles are easy to make and always appreciated. The choice of alcohol to use is yours. It can be a liqueur, such as Chambord or Grand Marnier, or another spirit like bourbon or rum. The alcohol can also be left out entirely. Substitutions for it could include brewed coffee, orange juice, or fruit puree.








    Truffle:


    1 recipe Master Ganache, recipe follows, with the addition of:


    2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened


    1 tablespoon light corn syrup


    2 tablespoons liqueur, such as Grand Marnier, kirsch, bourbon, or rum


    Coating:


    2 cups sifted unsweetened cocoa powder


    8 ounces bittersweet chocolate








    Follow the method for Master Ganache, adding the butter to the chocolate and the corn syrup to the cream before bringing the cream to a boil.


    Pour the hot cream and corn syrup over the chopped chocolate and butter. Tap the bowl on the counter to settle the chocolate into the cream, then let sit for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, stir slowly in a circular motion, starting from the center of the bowl and working out to the sides. Be careful not to add too much air to the ganache. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted, about 2 minutes.





    Add the liqueur and stir to combine. Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature until it is firm. This should take at least 4 hours in a 65 degree F room or 2 hours in the refrigerator.





    Once the ganache is firm, it can be formed into truffle balls. Using a piping bag, a mini ice cream scoop, or a tablespoon, make 1 inch diameter blobs. Then roll the blobs into somewhat uniform balls by hand. This is messy, no doubt about it. If they begin to warm up and become soft, refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes. If you have hot hands or it is a hot day, it may feel as though you can't get a grip on the truffle. Work near a sink with cold running water. When the ganache feels like it's melting, cool your hands under the running water then dry them and dust with a little cocoa powder. Be careful not to get too much cocoa powder on the truffles, or they will taste like cocoa powder.





    After the truffles are rolled, they can be finished in a variety of ways. The original cocoa powder is the easiest, and quite good.





    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.





    Using a serrated knife, finely chop the chocolate into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a medium heatproof bowl. Fill a medium saucepan half full of water, bring it to a simmer, and then turn off the heat. Create a double boiler by placing the bowl on top of the saucepan. Stir the chocolate occasionally with a rubber spatula until it melts, about 2 minutes.





    When the chocolate has melted, take it off the heat. Stir it slowly with a rubber spatula until the temperature drops to 90 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Place the remaining cocoa powder in a small bowl.





    Drop 1 rolled ganache ball in the melted chocolate. Remove it with a fork, tap off the excess chocolate, and toss it into the cocoa powder. Roll the truffle around in the cocoa until it is well coated. Transfer the truffle to the prepared baking sheet and let it harden. Repeat with each truffle, coating 1 at a time.








    Master Ganache:


    Can deep, dark, intense, rich, velvety smooth chocolate be a spiritual experience? It certainly is heavenly when mixed with cream. Praise the pastry angels and pass the bonbons!


    This is the basic ganache recipe. Use it for truffles, tarts, fillings, you name it. Follow the same technique when adjusting the recipe for firm and soft ganache. An alternative food processor method is given, which can be applied to any ganache recipe in this chapter.





    My desire is not only to introduce you to ganache but also to make it a staple in your refrigerator. As long as you don't eat it all as a midnight snack, it can be available to help you throw together dessert at a moment's notice.





    8 ounces bittersweet chocolate


    1 cup heavy cream








    Using a serrated knife, finely chop the chocolate into 1/4-inch pieces. Don't be lazy here. Big chunks will not melt.


    Traditional method: Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Boiling means the cream will actually rise up in the pan and threaten to boil over.





    Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chopped chocolate. Tap the bowl on the counter to settle the chocolate into the cream, then let it sit for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, slowly stir in a circular motion, starting from the center of the bowl, and working out to the sides. Be careful not to add too much air to the ganache. Stir until all the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. It may look done after 1 minute of stirring, but keep going to be sure it's emulsified.





    Food processor method: Place the chopped chocolate in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat (or bring to a boil in the microwave.)





    Immediately pour the hot cream into the food processor, on top of the chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then pulse the machine 3 times. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and pulse 3 more times, until all the chocolate is melted. This smooth, silky chocolate is now ganache. Transfer the ganache to a bowl.





    Let the ganache sit at room temperature until it cools to 70 degrees F. In a 65 degree F room, this will take approximately 4 hours or 2 hours in the refrigerator. You can speed up the process by pouring the ganache out onto a clean baking sheet (thinner layers cool faster.) Once the ganache reaches 70 degrees F, it is ready to be used. At this point it can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    Mushroom quiche with preserved truffles


    by Tanith Tyrr








    The basic binder/custard filling for quiche is 2 eggs beaten into one cup of milk. (One pie takes about 2 cups of milk and 4 eggs, depending on solid volume.) Add grated cheese to your taste (typically 3/4 cup) Any other ingredients to your taste (from 1/2 cup to 1 cup in volume).


    Add all solid ingredients in the lightly baked or unbaked crust. Pour the binder over it, but do not overfill as the pie will rise a bit. Bake at 350掳F for about 15 minutes initially, then take it down to 325掳 for another 30 or 40 minutes or until it has set to your taste. It will set a bit firmer when cool.


    Mix and match list of solids: fresh herbs like parsley or basil, fresh wild mushrooms (sautee first), cooked diced bacon, proscuitto or cured venison, duck meat, wild garlic greens, wild rice, goat cheese, hazelnuts or walnuts, whole raw Oregon white truffles...use your imagination, eh? You can also add neat-o stuff to the basic pie crust recipe like dried mushroom powder or herbs, or make your crust out of things like wild rice, sourdough bread crumbs or fresh vegetables whirled with the basic flour and butter short crust.





    A Simple Beginning With Truffles


    by Tanith Tyrr








    Truffles cry out to be showcased elegantly but simply-the classic backdrops for the intense flavor of these rare and delicious wild mushrooms are mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, pasta, polenta and risotto. You can use your own recipes for any of these dishes and simply drizzle truffle oil and add fresh raw truffle shavings on top, or use the following:








    路 Scrambled eggs with truffles: Beat eggs lightly in a bowl with a little cream; add white or black pepper if desired, but no salt. Scramble over medium heat in lightly browned butter. At the last minute of cooking (literally; all of the soft textured truffles are generally best either raw or very lightly heated, just enough to incorporate their essence into the dish), add slivered or shaved truffles. Oregon truffles work very well indeed with this dish. Add freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste after cooking.








    路 Truffle omelette: Beat three eggs with a touch of pepper (no salt until after cooking please; it causes chemical changes that toughen the egg) and a dash of water or cream. The more thoroughly you beat the eggs, the smoother the omelette will be, and if you beat them to the point of fluffiness, the omelette will be very light and fluffy and should be cooked over slightly lower hear. Fry gently in an omelette pan.


    o Option I: Add sliced, peeled black truffles soaked in brandy right after the eggs have set slightly, a few minutes into the cooking.


    o Option II: Add about 5 minutes before the end of the cooking sliced Oregon White truffles. Try adding them, waiting a minute and then turning off the flame and letting them sit for an additional few minutes to allow them to incorporate into the dish.


    o Option III: Add in the last 30 seconds of cooking, after the heat is off, Italian white truffle shavings and oil. Top omelettes with creme fraiche or unsweetened whipped cream.








    路 Truffled mashed potatoes: Peel and quarter potatoes; Yukon or Finnish gold are preferred. Put through a potato ricer for best consistency; add butter, cream, salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, drizzle with truffle oil (any kind) and mix to incorporate. Do not reheat potatoes once the truffle oil has been added. Garnish with truffle shavings. Good results can also be achieved by using plain boiled or steamed potato slices and drizzling truffle oil over them. You may slice in fancy shapes or use attractive garnishes (lemon slices, parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, etc) to create an elegant but easy-to-make appetizer.








    路 Truffled risotto: Use any standard plain risotto recipe, and incorporate the truffles very late in the cooking.


    Options: drizzle with white truffle oil and shavings, add slivers of Oregon white truffle, or cook down black truffles over very low heat for 45 minutes or so in equal parts demiglace and good red wine, and incorporate into the risotto.








    路 Truffled polenta: Make any standard recipe for firmly setting polenta suitable to be sliced and served in squares. Top with various options: Drizzled white truffle oil and shavings, slivered Oregon truffles, truffle oil and strips of prosciutto, Italian or Oregon white truffles and melted fontina or Asiago cheese, simmered black truffle shavings in demiglace and wine.








    路 Pasta con tartufi: Boil fresh pasta for no more than a few minutes; drain and allow to cool to serving temperature. Add one of the following: 1/8 tsp truffle oil per serving, 1/8 tsp black or white truffle paste per serving, chopped fresh Oregon truffles to taste (about 1/2 oz to 1 oz per serving-you can afford it!). Serve with Balsamic Truffle Dressing on the side if desired. Gnocchi (Italian potato dumplings) are particularly wonderful drizzled with browned butter and white truffle oil and scattered with black walnuts as they do at Oliveto's, a classic cuisine Italian restaurant in Oakland, California.








    路 Truffle dressing: Mix truffle oil and vinegar (balsamic works well) to your taste; start with 2:1 oil to vinegar and work from there. You can stretch the truffle oil by cutting it with hazelnut oil. Emulsify by beating thoroughly, and add cream if desired for a thicker consistency. This dressing is excellent on salads and preserved meats as well as pasta.

    * 16 oz semi-sweet chocolate


    * 1/2 cup butter


    * 1 1/2 tsp flour


    * 1 1/2 tsp sugar


    * 1 tsp hot water


    * 4 eggs, separated





    PREPARATION:


    Grease a 8 or 9 inch springform pan. In a saucepan, melt butter and chocolate together. Add flour, sugar and water, blending well. Add yolks, one at a time, beating well after each yolk. In another bowl, beat egg whites until you've got stiff peaks. Fold the whipped whites into the chocolate mixture. Turn batter into pan and bake for approximately 20 minutes at 425F.


    Serves 6





    *************











    Chocolate Truffle Cake





    Crust:





    3 C. graham cracker crumbs (about 25 graham crackers)





    2 T. cocoa powder, sifted





    2 T. light brown sugar





    5 T. unsalted butter, melted





    Filling and garnish:





    8 oz. semisweet chocolate





    3 oz. bittersweet chocolate





    2 1/2 C. heavy whipping cream





    2 T. milk





    2 T. brandy or rum or 1 t. vanilla extract





    Cocoa powder





    White and semisweet chocolate curves, lattices or chocolate curls





    Preheat the oven to 350掳F.





    In a medium bowl mix together the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa, brown sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture in an even layer on the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully remove the side of the pan and put the base, with the crust on it, on a wire rack to cool. When it is cool, reassemble the pan.





    To prepare the filling: Melt the semisweet and bittersweet chocolates together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water or a heatproof bowl set over simmering water. When melted, set the chocolate aside to cool to lukewarm. It should still be liquid.





    Set the heavy whipping cream in its container in a bowl of hot water until it is cool but no longer refrigerator-cold.





    In a mixing bowl, whisk the cream with the milk and brandy or vanilla until it is thick enough to leave a ribbon trail when the whisk is lifted. Be careful not to overwhip the cream.





    Blend a heaping spoonful of the cream into the lukewarm chocolate, then quickly fold the chocolate into the remaining cream using large metal spoon. Pour the mixture over the crust in the pan and smooth the top with a narrow spatula.





    Cover the pan with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.





    Remove the cake from the pan and leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Just before serving, sift a fine layer of cocoa powder over the top and garnish with chocolate curves or curls and, if desired, a fanned strawberry.





    Makes 12 generous servings.





    ***************











    Chocolate Truffle Cake





    For the Truffles:


    4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces


    3 tablespoons, heavy cream


    1 tablespoon unsalted butter


    2 tablespoons flavoring of your choice (orange, almond, or raspberry liqueur, etc.)


    8 fresh perfect raspberries, optional





    For the Chocolate Cake:


    5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces


    5 ounces unsalted butter, cut into small pieces


    3 eggs, at room temperature


    3 egg yolks, at room temperature


    1/2 cup sugar


    5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour


    Whipped Cream, optional


    Ice Cream, optional





    For the truffles: Combine the chocolate, cream and butter in a small heatproof bowl set over simmering water and let melt. When almost melted, remove from heat and stir the mixture until smooth. Stir in your flavoring of choice and refrigerate until thick enough to mound on a spoon, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.





    Line a baking tray with waxed or parchment paper. Scrape the chocolate mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain tip. Pipe 8 (1-inch) mounds onto the prepared tray. Place 1 raspberry in the center of each chocolate mound and pipe a little more of the chocolate mixture to enclose completely. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.





    For the cake: Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or coat with vegetable spray, 8 oversize muffin cups (4-inches wide and 2-inches deep) or 1 1/4-cup custard cups. Line bottoms with rounds of waxed paper.





    In the top of a double boiler or a small heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt together the chocolate and butter, cool slightly.





    Meanwhile in the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle or beaters, beat the eggs, egg yolks and sugar on high speed until tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Scrape in the chocolate mixture and, on low speed, beat until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the flour, using a rubber spatula. Spoon a little of the batter into each of the prepared cups, top with 1 truffle, and cover with the remaining batter. Arrange the cups on a baking tray and bake until the edges of the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the cups, 12 to 13 minutes.





    Let stand 10 minutes. Invert onto individual dessert plates and carefully peel off the paper. Serve warm. Spoon softly whipped cream or ice cream next to each cake and, if desired, garnish with a few fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.

    Hope I helped. =]





    Sounds yummy.





    Have fun!
    Here is a recipe that is easy to make and requires no baking, to make the base take 1 pack of Digestive Biscuits, break them up into crumbs, add 150 gms melted butter. Press into the base of a 9 '; greased cake tin and refrigerate.





    Melt 400 gms of 75% cocoa chocolate in a double boiler, do not over heat the chocolate, whip 500 ml of cream to nice and thick, then pour the chocolate into the cream and mix well so the chocolate is well distributed and a nice even colour, then put the chocolate cream into the cake tin on top of the base, put this back in the fridge to set. Allow 2 to 3 hours for this minimum. When ready to serve put some cocoa powder into a sieve or tea strainer and dust the top of the cake giving it a good coating.





    This recipe is so easy I couldn't believe it at first, and it is a death by chocolate experience.





    As a variation you can make individual ones in the small paper cup cakes, very suave.





    Good luck and I hope all goes well

    Chocolate Truffles 101 (This recipe works! These are majestic! My learned tips are in brackets.)





    No one is certain, but food historians claim that chocolate truffles probably originated in the kitchens of nineteenth-century Swiss confectioners. There鈥檚 less guesswork about how the candy got its name: After they鈥檙e rolled in cocoa powder (the traditional finishing touch, although some confectioners favor toasted nuts, grated chocolate, or powdered sugar), they bear a strong resemblance to the black truffles from the P茅rigord region of southern France. Candy enthusiasts prize a good chocolate truffle as much as a chef would a real one, but acquiring them doesn鈥檛 involve the highly trained pigs who unearth black truffles in P茅rigord. All you need instead is good-quality chocolate and the perfect recipe.





    Recipe


    Chocolate Truffles


    Makes about 5 dozen





    28 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped


    3/4 cup heavy cream


    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature


    1 1/2 tablespoons liqueur, such as Cognac, Grand Marnier, or Poire William (optional)


    Best-quality cocoa powder





    1. Make the ganache: Place 16 ounces of chocolate and the cream in the top of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted; remove from heat. Add butter and Cognac, and stir until combined. (Make sure all the dishes you need for this are dishes dry, chilled also helps speed things up.)





    2. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until mixture is very cold and set but still pliable, about 2 hours. (I like to whip my pre-ganache mixture a bit to speed up the firming process.)





    3. Melt remaining 12 ounces chocolate in the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted; remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. (covered, in the fridge, or out in the cold away from the pets.) (A little goes a long way...you may also want to melt some white chocolate and or milk chocolate in other bowls. Not too much! you can always melt more if you need it.)





    4. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Using a 1/4-ounce ice-cream scoop, drop ganache onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Chill 10 minutes.





    5. Coat the palm of one of your hands with about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate. Roll balls, one at a time, between your palms until evenly coated with chocolate. Roll in cocoa powder to coat. (or chocolate sprinkles, chocolate shavings, again mix up your chocolates, use white or milk chocolate.) Transfer to second baking sheet. Repeat with remaining balls, coating your palm with more chocolate as needed. Chill until ready to serve. Truffles can be stored, refrigerated in an airtight container, for up to 2 weeks.

    Im looking for a recipe for sugar free truffles? is there such a thing?

    M'aumlni's Sugar-Free Truffles (Makes about 24 Truffles)





    At M'aumlni's Bakery, we make these outrageous indulgences in two versions: dairy-free with soy milk and dairy with heavy cream. It is impossible to say which is better. Don't worry if your dipped truffles have a rough surface; any flaws will be disguised by rolling in a coating of your choice. Dutch-process cocoa powder has been harmlessly alkalized, reducing the acidity of the cocoa and giving it a mellower taste; it's a better choice than regular cocoa for rolling truffles. This is a fun project to do with a partner--it always reminds me of the time Lucy and Ethel worked in the chocolate factory, eating almost as many chocolates as they dipped!





    *Egg Free


    *Makes about 24 truffles








    Ingredients:





    FILLING


    2/3 cup heavy (whipping) cream


    2-1/3 cups (14 ounces) malt-sweetened semisweet chocolate chips





    DIPPING AND ROLLING


    1-1/2 cups (9 ounces) malt-sweetened semisweet chocolate chips


    1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil


    1/2 cup cocoa powder, preferably Dutch process





    Soy Milk Truffles:


    Substitute 2/3 cup sweetened soy milk for the heavy cream. Do not let the soy milk reach the simmering point; cook just until very hot. Substitute 2 cups (12 ounces) chocolate chips and 2 ounces finely chopped unsweetened chocolate for the 2-1/3 cups chocolate chips in the recipe. The unsweetened chocolate helps balance the sweet flavor of the soy milk.





    Almond Truffles:


    In a preheated 350 degree F. oven, bake 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) sliced almonds, stirring often, until lightly toasted and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade or using a large sharp knife, chop the almonds until very fine. Roll the dipped truffles in the almonds instead of cocoa powder. Pecans or walnuts may also be used.





    Coconut Truffles:


    In a preheated 350 degree F. oven, bake 1 cup unsweetened dessicated coconut, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Roll the dipped truffles in the toasted coconut instead of the cocoa powder.





    Preparation:





    1 To make the filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the cream over low heat until small bubbles appear around the edges.





    Remove the saucepan from the heat.





    2 Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Pour in the hot cream and let stand for 1 minute. Whisk gently until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a 7 x 1 l-inch baking pan and let stand at cool room temperature until firm, at least 4 hours. The filling mixture can also be refrigerated, but don't refrigerate it until it is rock hard, just until firm enough to roll into balls.





    3 To roll and dip the truffles: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Using a melon baller or a dessert spoon, scoop up the chocolate filling, roll between your palms to form l-inch balls, and place on the baking sheet. Freeze the balls until ready to dip.





    4 In the top part of a double boiler set over very hot, but not simmering, water, melt the chocolate chips and oil, stirring occasionally, until smooth.





    5 It is best to have a friend help you coat the truffles, as one person's hands will be covered in chocolate from the dipping. Line another baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Place the cocoa powder in a small, shallow dish. Place the ingredients in a line in front of you in the following order: the baking sheet with the chocolate balls, the melted chocolate, the dish of cocoa powder, and the clean baking sheet.





    6 Pick up a chocolate ball and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over the ball.





    Roll the ball between your palms, lightly but completely coating the ball in chocolate. (This will give you a thinner shell than dipping the ball in the chocolate and fishing it out, and to my mind it's much simpler.) Transfer the dipped truffle to the cocoa and roll to coat completely, then transfer to the clean baking sheet. If the truffle seems too soft to place on the baking sheet, refrigerate the truffle in the dish of cocoa until it firms up.





    7 Refrigerate the coated truffles until the chocolate coating is hard, about 10 minutes. Transfer the truffles to an airtight container. (Store, refrigerated, for up to 5 days)





    Serve the truffles slightly chilled.






    Does anyone have the recipe for Nigella's Christmas Puddini Truffles please?

    I saw the programme recently but Nigella did not give any weights %26amp; measures on TV. I have searched the BBC website but the recipe is not on there. If anyone has her Christmas book, I would very much appreciate the recipe.Does anyone have the recipe for Nigella's Christmas Puddini Truffles please?
    Ingredients





    125g best-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped


    350g leftover, or freshly cooked and cooled, Christmas pudding


    60ml sherry


    2 x 15ml tablespoons golden syrup








    FOR DECORATION:





    100g white chocolate, finely chopped


    6 red glac茅 cherries


    6 green glac茅 cherries, or 6 short lengths angelica





    Preparation





    1 Line a baking sheet (that will fit in the fridge) with clingfilm, baking parchment, foil or Bake-O-Glide, and set it to one side while you make the bonbons.





    2 Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended above a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave according to the manufacturer's guidelines.





    3 Crumble the cold Christmas pudding into a bowl, add the sherry and golden syrup and stir briskly till all is incorporated.





    4 Pour in the melted dark chocolate and stir again: this will make the mixture much more cohesive.





    5 To make this step easier, put on a pair of those disposable vinyl gloves sold in hardware stores and supermarkets, pinch out small lumps of mixture and roll so that you have little rounds about the size of a chocolate truffle. You should get about 30 out of this mixture; fight the impatient urge to make these balls larger as you go.





    6 Cover with clingfilm and slot into the fridge to firm up.





    7 To decorate, melt the white chocolate either in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave according to the manufacturer's guidelines, then let it cool for about 5 minutes, to make it easier to work with, while you chop the red cherries into small pieces (to evoke berries), and snip the green cherries (or angelica) into miniature lengths, to represent leaves.





    8 Using a teaspoon, drip a little of the melted but slightly cooled white chocolate on each bonbon, then arrange the infuriatingly sticky pieces of cherry on top.





    9 Place in boxes to give away -- if you use small boxes that will fit 6 bonbons each, you will get 5 adorable presents out of this -- or on a plate to hand round with coffee, instead of dessert, after a post-Christmas dinner.








    Makes about 30





    MAKE AHEAD TIP:


    Make the bonbons up to 2 weeks before eating or giving. Pack in boxes and store in a very cool place. If made 2 weeks ahead, add a label to say ';keep cool and eat within 1 or 2 days';.Does anyone have the recipe for Nigella's Christmas Puddini Truffles please?

    Hershey's Chocolate Recipe

    What is the best recipe for truffles?

    Chocolate Truffles





    Ingredients:





    3 ounces chocolate


    3 tbsp. butter


    2 ounces powdered sugar


    2 tbsp. fresh cream





    Preparation:





    Put cream, butter and grated chocolate into a pan. The chocolate need not be grated fine. The cream can be replaced by skimming the top off raw milk poured into a wide basin and allowed to settle. Melt butter, chocolate, and cream in a double boiler, stirring to mix well.





    When melted, remove the double boiler from the fire, leaving the hot water in the bottom pan to keep it warm. Sift the powdered sugar in slowly, so that it will not form lumps, stirring constantly.





    Let stand 24 hr. in a cool place. (In winter, 12 hr. in a cold room will do.) At the end of this time, cut a piece of this chocolate about the size of a small nut, using a knife or spoon.





    Roll it into a ball in the palm of the hand until the outside of the bonbon begins to melt a little. Then roll it in grated or granulated chocolate, which will stick to it perfectly.





    Let stand 2 hr. before serving, but in a place that is not too cold, because these truffles are better when they are a little soft. Instead of rolling them into balls, you can also shape them to look more like truffles.

    Cookies And Cream Truffles


    1 cup finely ground Oreo庐 Cookies


    12 T melted butter


    6 oz. white chocolate, broken into small pieces


    5 egg yolks


    1 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar


    1 tsp. vanilla extract





    Makes about 40 truffles





    Note: Pregant or nursing women, young chilren or any with an immune deficieny should not eat foods made with raw eggs.





    Chop cookies in a blender or food processor until finely chopped. Slowly drizzle in 6 tablespoons of melted butter and process till well mixed. Set aside.





    Heat remaining 6 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan until very hot and bubbly (be careful not to let it burn). Remove from heat and add the white chocolate. Stir constantly until smooth and melted. Set aside.


    In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until foamy. Beat in the sugar gradually, add vanilla and continue to beat until thick (see photo). With mixer on slow to medium speed, gradually beat in the cookie mixture, then gradually beat in the melted chocolate mixture. Beat until smooth and well mixed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes or until firm.


    Place your choice of coating in a bowl. If you're going to have more than one, use separate bowls. Some possibel coating choices are: toasted coconut, chopped nuts, unsweetened cocoa, powdered chocolate, crushed Oreo庐 Cookies.





    Scoop out a teaspoon full of the truffle mixture and, using your fingers, roll it into a ball. Work quickly as the heat of your hand will quickly start melting the chocolate. Drop ball in the coating bowl. Repeat the process until there are 4 or 5 balls in the coating bowl. Gently roll the truffles in the coating mixture and a sheet of waxed paper.





    Wrap truffles in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to ten days or in the freezer for up to a month.

    Awesomely Decadent Truffle Potato Salad Recipe


    Salad


    Ingredients:


    1 1/2 lbs potatoes


    1/2 cup white truffle oil


    1/2 cup fresh sweet hazelnut oil


    1 egg yolk


    1 tsp white wine vinegar


    1 tsp lemon juice or water


    1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts


    3 hardboiled eggs, sliced or coarsely chopped


    Whole or quartered truffles (Oregon white truffles do very nicely)





    Directions:


    Taste your oils before combining them. Be sure they are both sweet and pure, and have not gone ';off'; or rancid. Your end result is only as good as its lowest quality ingredient, so exercise quality control.





    With the egg yolk, vinegar, lemon juice or water, and oils make a mayonnaise. See below if you are not familiar with the process. Keep the mayonnaise refrigerated while cooking the potatoes.





    You may peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2'; chunks and steam them (this works well with Yukon Gold potatoes and also helps retain the colors on the exotic purple varieties), or boil them and cut them later. Allow cooked potatoes to cool, and mix them gently with the mayonnaise, walnuts, eggs and as many truffles as you can afford. Cover the salad and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving. Serve cold.

    1 c Bailey's Irish Cream


    1 1/2 c nuts, chopped -- optional





    Truffle Topping:


    1 c semisweet chocolate chips


    1/2 c white chocolate chips


    4 tbsp Bailey's Irish Cream


    2 tbsp butter -- cut in pieces





    Directions:


    Melt chocolates with butter until chocolates are soft enough to stir smooth. Do not overheat. Add chocolate/butter mixture to powdered sugar and Baileys. Stir until smooth, add nuts and mix well. Place fudge in an 8'; X 8'; pan, oiled. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top and gently press to smooth fudge.





    Truffle Topping:


    Melt chocolates until soft. Remove from heat. With a fork, beat in butter and Baileys until smooth. Spread topping over fudge with knife. If a very smooth top is desired, place plastic wrap over top as in above. Refrigerate until firm; 1-2 hours. Can be frozen. Using All semi-sweet chips (instead of white chocolate) will yield a deeper, darker fudge.
