Description
Enjoy your delightful Festive Green Chocolate Truffles!
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g white chocolate, finely chopped
- 100ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- 200g milk chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
- 50g white chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
- Decorative red heart candy toppers
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the finely chopped white chocolate. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring until the mixture reaches your desired shade.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
- Form the Truffles:
- Once firm, scoop small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands.
- Place the formed truffles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Decorate:
- Drizzle the truffles with melted milk chocolate and then with melted white chocolate, creating a festive pattern.
- Top each truffle with a red heart candy while the chocolate drizzle is still wet to ensure they stick.
- Final Touch:
- Let the truffles set in the fridge for an additional 30 minutes for the chocolate decorations to harden.
Notes
- Chocolate Quality: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Food Coloring: Gel food coloring works best as it doesn’t affect the consistency of the chocolate.
- Chilling Time: Ensure the truffle mixture is well-chilled before shaping to prevent sticking.
- Storage: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to 1 week.
