They may look like little Christmas puddings but they’re chocolate flavour through and through. These truffles make a lovely homemade gift.

Method:

  1. Break up the dark chocolate into small pieces, chopping with a knife if necessary.
  2. Heat the butter and cream in a pan until it reaches simmering point. Add the chocolate, stirring continuously until a thick, glossy ganache has formed. Leave to cool for at least four hours (or preferable overnight).
  3. Using a melon baller or your hands, roll the set ganache mixture into small balls. Place on a sheet of greaseproof paper.
  4. Melt the white chocolate and drizzle a small amount on top of each truffle. Shape the coloured fondant icings into berries and holly leaves, using them to top the truffles.
  5. Keep your truffles refrigerated and enjoy within 5 days.

Why not try this recipe with some of our NEW Booths chocolate bars? Berry Burst would be perfect.
