Italian Chocolate Truffles

So hello again!

I have a late night class on Tuesdays so I don't cook on Tuesdays. I think I'll do desserts on Tuesdays or maybe some tips and tricks of the cooking world. Maybe even snacks.... I don't know.

Today will be a dessert!

Ingredients:
  • Dark chocolate - 175 g
  • Unsalted butter - 3 tbsp
  • Icing sugar - 50 g
  • Ground almonds - 1/2 cup
  • Grated milk chocolate - 50 g (I'd have a lot more than that though because the last time I made these, I ended up eating the chocolate by itself! The recipe calls for 50 g, I just got greedy while making these)

Method:
  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of hot water. Stir well.
  2. Add the butter and stir until it has melted. Stir in the icing sugar and the ground almonds.
  3. Leave the mixture in a cool place until firm enough to roll into 24 balls.
  4. Place the grated chocolate on a plate and roll the truffles in the chocolate to coat them.
  5. Place the truffles in paper sweet (candy) cases and chill.
