Chocolate Malt Truffles

Just a quick post today, about some delicious chocolatey goodness!

IMG_4819Ingredients:

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.

IMG_4815When 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.

IMG_4816Cool 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.
