ITALIAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES...
Its time for Diwali...which is also known as the 'Festival of Lights'. I usually try and make a different home-made sweet on Diwali because we get quite tired of the 'mithais' that do the rounds. It's challenging to be different, and this time I decided to tread on new ground. I had an old truffle recipe, which I played around with a bit. I made these in a tearing hurry...and am glad I did!
Pretty, aren't they?
Ingredients:
Dark chocolate - 625 gms
Almond Extract - 2 tsp
Butter - 1/2 cup
Castor Sugar - 50gms
Ground Almonds - 50 gms (I run them in the coffee grinder with the skins)
Sprinkles, grated chocolate, cocoa powder & white chocolate to decorate.Candy cases
Method:
- Melt the chocolate with the extract in a double boiler , or over a pan of simmering water. Stir well to ensure melted right through.
- Add the butter and stir until melted.
- Take off heat, mix in the almonds & sugar.
- Leave for a while to cool down.
- Roll into small bite sized truffles, roll in sprinkles/grated chocolate etc.This is the bit I really enjoy!
THAT'S IT!! They are so simple to make!!
ALL WRAPPED UP TO GO...HAPPY DIWALI!!
