Christmas Pudding Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into balls; place on baking-paper lined tray. Refrigerate balls while preparing the coating.
• Place extra dark chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. Place bowl over a pan of simmering water; stir until melted. Using a fork or skewer, dip balls into chocolate mixture; drain off excess. Return balls to tray. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.
• Spoon warm white chocolate over top of puddings; decorate with marzipan leaves. Refrigerate until set.
• Makes about 35.

Steps:

• Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl, then put the cream and butter in a pan and bring to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until it melts. Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge for 7 hrs.
• Put the coatings into separate bowls. To shape the truffles, lightly rub your hands with flavourless oil and roll teaspoons of the truffle mix between your palms - this can get messy!
• Gently roll the truffles in the bowl until evenly coated, then put in a box and chill. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for three days, or freeze for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
