Hand-Rolled Chocolate Truffles
Hand-rolled chocolate truffles are really simple to make. Using cultured whipping cream turns this for a melt in your mouth chocolate into a probiotic treat. See the section above for instructions on how to make white chocolate truffles, nutty truffles and liquor truffles.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 6 truffles 1x
- Category: Desserts
- Method: Fermented
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 2 oz baking chocolate (100% chocolate)
- 1/4 cup sweetener, to taste (see notes for options)
- 1/4 cup whipping cream (see above for info on how to make probiotic truffles)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder as a coating (see above for alternatives)
Instructions
- Place a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water on the stove.
- Melt the chocolate and sweetener together.
- When fully melted, remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the whipping cream.
- Place the bowl in the fridge for 45 min (until the chocolate starts to harden).
- Use a spoon to scoop out 1 tablespoon of chocolate truffle mixture.
- Working quickly, roll the truffle into a ball shape, then coat in cocoa powder.
- Store truffles in a sealed container in the fridge.
Notes
- For traditional textured truffles use icing sugar. If you’re making probiotic truffles I recommend using a sulfite-free icing sugar.
- You can also use other granulated sugar alternative like xylitol
or stevia (affiliate links).
- Honey or maple syrup will change the moisture levels of the truffle and result in very soft truffles. Either add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to thicken the truffle, or store the truffles in the freezer until your ready to serve them.
