Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 2 Cups Semi and/or Bitter Sweet Chocolate Chips 2 Cups Semi-sweet if you prefer sweeter chocolate or substitute 1 cup of Bitter Sweet if you prefer dark chocolate – Ghirardelli makes the best quality chocolate chips that are widely available
- 1 Packet of Marzipan baking section of your supermarket
- Cocoa Powder for Dusting
Instructions
- Add heavy cream and chocolate chips to a saucepan
- Place on medium-low heat and mix until chocolate melts and is evenly incorporated with the heavy cream (this should take approx. 5 mins but must be stirred continuously to keep it from burning. If mixture starts to bubble, lower the heat)
- Refrigerate for 2 hours until mixture hardens
- To assemble the truffles,
- scoop a portion (approx.. 1 tbs) of the truffle mixture with a spoon and flatten in the palm of your hand
- place a small ball of Marzipan in the center, then close the truffle mixture over the marzipan
- roll in your hand until the chocolate covers the marzipan and forms a ball (just like your rolling a piece of playdough into a ball)
- Plate Truffles and dust with cocoa powder – keep in refrigerator until ready to serve
