Ingredients:
• 200g of milk chocolate
• 100g of heavy cream
• 25g of butter
• Cocoa powder
• Sugar
• Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
1. Begin by chopping the chocolate into small pieces and placing it in a large bowl.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat up the heavy cream until it begins to simmer.
3. Once the cream is simmering, pour it over the chopped chocolate. Add the butter and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave it in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
5. After the mixture is cooled, take the bowl out of the fridge and use a spoon or cookie scoop to make small balls.
6. Roll each ball in cocoa powder. You can also experiment with other coatings, such as powdered sugar or nuts.
7. Decorate your truffles with sprinkles or any other toppings of your choice.
8. Put the truffles back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the coating set and for the flavors to meld together.
9. Your sweet truffles are now ready to be enjoyed!
Tips and Tricks:
1. Use high-quality chocolate for the best results. It will be worth the investment!
2. You can adjust the sweetness level of the truffles by using different coatings or adding additional sugar to the mixture.
3. If your mixture is too thick, add a little bit more heavy cream to make it easier to work with.
4. Experiment with adding different flavors to the mixture. For example, you can add espresso powder for a mocha flavor or mint extract for a refreshing twist.
5. For a vegan option, you can use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and dairy-free chocolate.
