Orange chocolate truffles
Don't you love truffles? They're so easy to make. These orange chocolate truffles are flavored with oranges and a delicious liqueur.
Ingredients
- 100 ml cream
- 300 grams dark chocolate chopped
- 1 tablespoon orange liqueur like grand marnier
- 1 orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams Dutch unprocessed cocoa
Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic
Instructions
- Put a saucepan on low heat and add the cream, chocolate, and orange zest.
- Heat until the chocolate is fully melted and then remove the pan from the heat and add the liqueur and the vanilla extract and stir through.
- Put into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
- Allow 2 hours in the fridge where it cools down and hardens.
- Take a little ganache with two teaspoons from the bowl.
- Roll between your hands into a ball.
- Roll the ball through the cocoa.
- Put the truffles in the refrigerator until you serve them.
NOTES
- If children are going to eat the truffles, omit the orange liqueur with orange aroma and substitute vanilla extract with vanilla sugar (2 teaspoons). Children and alcohol is a no go.
- Because you roll a ball with your hands, the outside of the truffle becomes a bit soft, and the cocoa sticks well. When you keep them in the fridge again, they will keep their shape.
- Instead of orange liqueur, you can also use Bourbon (for an extra boost)
