Truffle Recipe
Recipe
Recipe Ingredients:
- 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate (I like Ghirardelli)
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 2 TBSP raspberry sauce
- 1 bag dark chocolate candy melts
- sanding sugar (optional)
Recipe Directions:
- Chop chocolate and place in a bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer on the stove and pour it over the chocolate.
- Let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Stir in the raspberry sauce.
- Bring the chocolate to room temperature, about an hour or more until set. Scoop into balls using a melon baller or a spoon and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
- If needed, pop them in the fridge, then remove after 15 minutes to shape into balls.
- Refrigerate the truffles again until ready to coat.
- In the microwave, melt the candy melts with 1 tsp. shortening (this will help then the candy melts for dipping).
- Melt in 30 second intervals on 50% power, stirring after every cycle until melted.
- With a fork, dip the truffles into the candy melts and place on the wax paper lined sheet. While the candy melts are still wet, sprinkle with pink sanding sugar.
