HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES RECIPE
These homemade chocolate truffles are extra creamy with the addition of butter. After mixing the ingredients together, let the mixture set in the refrigerator, then roll into balls. You can coat in your favorite toppings and add lots of fun flavors, too! The mixture gets a little sticky, so refer back to my tips in the blog post above.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the heavy cream until it is simmering. You can heat it on the stove or in the microwave.
- Add the butter, if using, to the chocolate and pour the heavy cream evenly on top. Let the warm cream and chocolate sit for 5 minutes minutes. Add the vanilla extract then stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface (to avoid condensation) and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Tip: Pour into a flat shallow dish, such as a 8×8 inch baking pan, so the mixture evenly and quickly sets.
- Scoop the set truffle mixture into 2 teaspoon-sized mounds. This cookie scoop is the perfect size. For larger truffles, 1 Tablespoon size mounds. Roll each into balls. This gets a little sticky, so see my tips above.
- Roll each into toppings, if desired. Truffles taste best at room temperature!
- Cover tightly and store truffles at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE FROSTING ( AND FILLING )
Here is a frosting I mostly use since ages, it is creamy, foamy, not too sweet, contains no icing sugar . There is a lot of beating involved, and once you have reached the foamy texture you have to work quickly before it gets too firm to handle . Frosting pipes perfect rosettes, truffles , frosting macaroons, fairy cakes, and if sandwiching and frosting a larger cake just double the recipe.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE FROSTING
Luscious chocolate truffle frosting for chocolate cakes. Dust the frosted cake with cocoa powder for a beautiful, velvety finish. Makes enough to cover a 8-10 cm high cake baked in a 22 cm round cake tin, so if you're making a big cake, you might want to make a double batch.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE FILLING
This recipe is from Colette Peters, in a wonderful book called Cakes To Dream On. This is one of the many recipes I tested when making my daughter's first birthday cake. Fabulous filling, couldn't ask for any better. I made one batch using almond extract, and one using 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 orange extract.

Steps:
- Put the chocolate in a large bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the cream just until it starts to bubble.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate; make sure all the chocolate is covered by the cream (push some pieces down if you need to).
- Cover the bowl and let it sit there, undisturbed, for 10 minutes, until the chocolate has melted.
- Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is dark and shiny, then cool to room temperature, or stick it in the fridge until ready to use.
- If you refrigerate the filling before you put it on the cake, it will get very hard, and you'll need to pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to loosen it up.
- You can, of course, pour it over the top of cake while it's still warm for a beautiful, smooth, shiny ganache topping.
