Takes 20 minutes
Serves 15
Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 100 g cream plant based or coconut cream
- 1 orange zest
For Decoration
- Pistachios
- Freeze-dried raspberries
- Desiccated coconut
- Cacao powder
Instructions
- Break up the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a bowl.
- In a saucepan, add the cream and the orange zest, being careful to avoid the white pith, which can be bitter. Heat on medium until it reaches a gentle boil.
- Pour the heated cream over the chocolate and leave it for 2 minutes. Then stir until the mixture is well combined and richly chocolatey.
- Chill the mixture in the fridge for about 20 minutes, or until it’s firm enough to roll.
- Roll the chilled mixture into small balls, handling them as little as possible to prevent them from melting. Return the balls to the fridge to harden while you prepare the toppings.
- Peel and finely chop the pistachios. Place the chopped pistachios, desiccated coconut, cacao powder, and freeze-dried raspberries into separate bowls.
- Roll the hardened truffles in the prepared toppings for a decorative and varied finish.
- Package your truffles in a small box or clear bag, add a label, and they're ready to enjoy!
