Categories     Dessert     Candy

Time 1h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup heavy cream
12 ounces chocolate (bittersweet, chopped into very small pieces)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder (premium dark)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is hot and starting to bubble but not fully boiling. Remove the cream from the heat immediately.
  • Add the finely chopped chocolate and vanilla extract and stir with a wooden spoon until the ganache is completely smooth.
  • Pop the pan into the fridge and chill the ganache until it is hard enough to roll into balls. Do not use the freezer, as this will make the ganache unworkable.
  • Measure out each truffle by the heaping teaspoonful and use your hands to quickly roll the ganache into a ball.
  • If the ganache gets too warm, put it back in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up. Work quickly so that your hands don't melt the chocolate too much. Chill the balls, a few at a time, as you go.
  • Put the cocoa powder into a shallow dish. Take each chilled chocolate ball and quickly roll in the cocoa powder for an even coating. Pop the truffle onto a plate and place back into the fridge to chill down again before serving.

FRENCH CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS CANDY



FRENCH CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS CANDY image

Christmas and children with their hearts all aglow. I just love to watch excited and happy children. Of course, children love to help at Christmas Time. I used to sit my grandchildren on the cabinet counters so they could watch me cook. I would let them HELP me and they loved it. This Christmas Candy is a good recipe for children to help and learn and be proud to show off what they prepared themselves. Even if Grand Mother tucked a little here and there.
