Method

  1. Put the chocolate, cream and vanilla in a pan and heat very gently until melted. Cool, then chill for 90 mins until firm.
  2. Use a mini ice cream scoop or teaspoon to make 24 truffles, then dust with cocoa or grated white chocolate. Chill until ready to eat. You can make these 4 days ahead or they will freeze for 1 month. Thaw in a cool place and, if needed, dust with a little more cocoa.

    Absolutely delicious! Made them for my dad for Father's Day, he loved them! The mixture is so easy to make, forming the balls is slightly tricky but you can use the back of a teaspoon to roll them into balls fairly easily, also it doesn't matter if they aren't perfect ball shapes as you coat them anyway. I'll be making them again for Christmas presents!!
