There may be just five ingredients, but the possibilities are endless. Take this simple truffle recipe for example. These rich, sinful and decadent treats can satisfy the sweetest tooth without the fuss. Now thats the kind of recipe I like!
1/3 cup cream
400g chopped white chocolate
1 knob of butter
200g chopped dark chocolate
1 1/2 cups of toasted coconut
To a heavy bottomed saucepan add heavy cream and warm it over low heat. Put the chopped white chocolate in a large bowl and pour in the hot cream. Whisk till the chocolate has melted and then add the butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. This is a basic ganache. Refrigerate the ganache for about 2 hours or till its just firm enough to make into balls.
Use a spoon or a small scooper and form small balls from the ganache. Line a tray with parchment paper. Let the balls sit on this tray and refrigerate for an hour or till the balls are firm.
Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler. Dip each ball of white chocolate into the melted dark chocolate. Put the toasted coconut in a bowl and toss the ganache balls in to cover them in coconut. Put them on a parchment lined tray to dry and allow the truffles to set for about ten minutes. Voila!!
Tip: Using two forks makes it easier to fish out the dipped chocolate balls
