Just a quick post today, about some delicious chocolatey goodness!
Truffles:
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 5 tablespoons malted milk powder
Coating:
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons malted milk powder
Place the chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside.
Heat the cream over medium-high heat in a small saucepan. When it reaches a simmer, whisk in the malt powder until no lumps remain.
When the mixture has just reached a boil, remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Stir together until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
Cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate for several hours until firm.
Whisk together the cocoa and malt powder for the coating. I actually found that this made way more of the coating mixture than I needed, so you might try starting off with just half. I used my leftovers for hot chocolate, but the proportions were off and it wasn’t chocolatey enough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out some of the chocolate mixture and roll it into a ball.
Roll in the cocoa/malt mixture to coat.
Set aside, and repeat with remaining chocolate. I think keeping these fairly small is good, as they’re quite rich.
Store in the refrigerator to keep firm. Easy, tasty truffles!
