Cookies And Cream Truffles

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.








Bailey's Truffle Fudge Recipe


Dessert


Ingredients:


3 c semisweet chocolate chips


1 c white chocolate chips


3 c powdered sugar


1/4 c butter


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.

Using All semi-sweet chips (instead of white chocolate) will yield a deeper, darker fudge.
