Snowball truffles
These chocolate truffles are the perfect Christmas present
You Will Need
- 200ml double cream
- 200g good-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)
- 200g desiccated coconut
Step 1
Pour the cream into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in a large bowl, then stir in the hot cream until blended and smooth. Cool, then leave in the fridge until the mixture is solid (about two hours).
Step 2
Scoop out teaspoons of the mixture and roll into small walnut-sized balls with your hands. Sprinkle the desiccated coconut on to a plate and roll each truffle in the coconut until evenly covered.
Step 3
Place a handful of truffles inside a Kilner jar. Punch a hole in a gift card and thread ribbon through the hole; tie the ribbon around the lid of the jar. Keep in a cool place and eat within three days, or freeze for up to a month.
