Christmas Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
1 tbs Brock & Morten Rapeseed oil
100g dark chocolate
85g double cream
1 small sprig rosemary
half tsp ground cinnamon
half tsp ground nutmeg
half tsp ground cardamon
Method
Place the cream, rosemary, nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamon into a small saucepan, bring to the boil and then switch the heat off, leave to infuse for 5 minutes, pour the cream through a sieve into a small bowl.
Meanwhile melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pan of just simmering water.
When the chocolate has melted, take the bowl off the pan and place it onto a tea towel.
Gradually add half the cream whisking really well as you go. The mixture will thicken and go glossy.
Whisk in the rapeseed oil and then add the rest of the cream, mixing as you add it.
Leave the ganache to set and go cold in the fridge then roll into small rounds and place on a tray.
Roll these little truffles in cocoa powder and keep chilled. Serve straight from the fridge as a petit four after a meal.
Alternatively, melt a little more dark chocolate and place a blob on your palm, roll the truffle in your palm until coated and then place onto a tray, leave to set in the fridge and serve as above.
We love giving these as Christmas gifts. They are the perfect gesture and great kept in the fridge for a last minute present.
