Chocolate Truffles in 20 Minutes

1. 1

   If you want smooth, melt-in-the mouth truffles, I recommend using 5 bars of chocolate.

2. 2

   If you want to perfectly shape the truffles then I recommend using 8 bars instead.

3. 3

   The taste won't differ.

4. 4

   Break up the chocolate bars.

5. 5

   Each bar should be broken into roughly 10 pieces.

6. 6

   Warm the heavy cream up in a saucepan while stirring.

7. 7

   Whatever you do, don't let the cream boil (60C is the ideal temperature)!

8. 8

   Add the broken up chocolate to the cream and mix it in until it melts.

9. 9

   If the room is cold, do this step while heating the mixture up over a bain-marie.

    When it looks like this, it's ready.

13. 13

    Line a shallow tray with parchment paper or cling film and pour the mixture into it.

14. 14

    Then chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

    Cut the chilled chocolate into 2 x 2 cm squares and roll them into balls.

    Then coat each chocolate ball with cocoa powder.

    If you dust the parchment paper with cocoa, it will prevent the chocolate from sticking.
