Nutella dark chocolate truffles
An easy to make treat; perfect for the end of the year festive season.
Ingredients
- 400 gms nutella
- 100 gms dark chocolate
- 4 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp ghee
Topping, coating options
- melted dark chocolate, melted milk chocolate, cocoa powder, chopped nuts icing, white chocolate etc
Instructions
- Add the nutella, dark chocolate, honey and ghee in a bowl and melt together in a microwave or double boiler. Be careful not to overheat. The chocolate should just be melted. Keep an eye, do not put the bowl in the microwave for a long time in one go. Stir every now and then.
- Remove the bowl from the microwave or double boiler and stir vigorously till smooth and nearly at room temperature. As the mixture cools, it will come away from the bowl easily.
- Once the mixture is at room temperature, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour or till the mixture is firm and mouldable.
- Shape into balls or an oblong shape and coat, decorate as you wish.
- What I did-*Dipped some of the truffles in melted dark chocolate and left to set. I then piped some white icing over them. You can use melted white chocolate to do this.*Dipped some truffles in melted milk chocolate, placed a few pieces of chopped nuts on top ( I used pistachios and walnuts ) and left to set.*Simply rolled some of the truffles in cocoa powder.
- I arranged them in individual paper cups to make it easier to handle.
