Chocolate Truffles Making

Its the time of the year. Christmas is around the corner. In view of this, I took up a Chocolate Truffle making workshop to learn how to make these yummy little things for my special someone. Its just a basic course so nothing really godly. There were a few different flavors being taught but I am just going to show the orange flavored ones here. So lets get down with it.

Get some chocolate buttons

Boil a pot of water


Place buttons into a dry metal bowl


Place bowl over the pot of boiling water


Stir chocolate till melt


Try not to introduce bubbles


Melted chocolate should shine with a gloss


Place melted chocolate into pipping bag


Coat the outer layer of mould with even and thin layer of chocolate


Place some macadamia nuts and crushed almonds
Refrigerate to harden outer layer


Grate an orange


Squeeze the juice


Place thick cream into pan


Pour in orange juice


Add in orange skin


Add in corn syrup


Prepare another metal bowl with chocolate buttons


Pour boiled mixture into buttons


Stir to melt buttons


Add in butter


A few drops of orange flavoring


Place truffle fillings into hardened outer layer


Cover up the fillings with the same melted chocolate you used for the outer layer initially
Smooth out the covering
Refrigerate to harden whole truffle

And its done. Enjoy your lovely Chocolate Truffle. This is a simplified version of the whole workshop. Do drop a comment if you have more in depth questions. Merry Christmas!
