White Chocolate Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate, cream and butter in a heatproof bowl over a small pan of just simmering water, or in the microwave in short blasts, stirring regularly. Stir in any flavourings you like (add them gradually and taste the mix, the flavour will be stronger when chilled). Transfer to a small baking dish or shallow container and chill until set, about 4 hrs or overnight.
• Using a large melon baller or a heaped teaspoon, scoop truffles from the set mixture, or using clean hands briefly roll between your palms, then transfer to a lined baking tray. Chill in the freezer for 30 mins to firm up.
• To decorate, melt the chocolate the same way as in step 1, leave to cool a little, then drop the chilled truffles into the chocolate and lift out with a fork. Put back on a lined baking tray and sprinkle over any toppings, if using, and chill again in the fridge for 1-2 hrs, or freeze for 30 mins if you're in a rush, until set. Store in a cool place or in the fridge until giving as a present or eating.

Steps:

• Place the cream in a heat-proof bowl, and set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cook until heated through. Using a wire whisk, slowly stir the white chocolate into the warm cream until completely melted. Whisk in the liqueur and vanilla. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until pliable but firm enough to scoop. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With 2 teaspoons or a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, make dollops of the chocolate mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, until firm enough to roll into rough spheres. Place the chopped hazelnuts on a sheet pan and place them in the oven for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, set over a pan of simmering water. Drizzle the melted bittersweet chocolate over 10 of the truffles. Roll the remaining truffles in the chopped nuts. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl that fits snugly over a pot of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the chocolate and butter are melted. The mixture will look grainy.
• Remove bowl from simmering water and thoroughly stir in cream one tablespoon at a time. The mixture will become increasingly grainy. As the last of the cream is added, however, it will become smooth. Press plastic wrap directly against top of mixture and refrigerate for an hour.
• Scrape mixture into bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute then add the liqueur in a slow, steady stream and continue beating until the mixture lightens in both color and texture, 15 to 30 seconds. Do not overbeat.
• Scrape mixture into a 14-inch pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tube (Ateco No. 6). Pipe out 3/4-inch spheres onto a pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate until firm, about a half hour. Roll each truffle between the palms of your hands to make it completely round. If the mixture gets too soft to roll, chill for a few minutes until firm. Roll in sifted cocoa powder. Store in the refrigerator up to one week.

Immediately sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make more truffles.

• Pour the semisweet chocolate chips into the truffle mix and stir to combine evenly. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the mixture is solid.
• With an ice cream scoop, form balls from the mixture (refreeze the truffle mix if it begins to thaw). Keep the truffle balls in the refrigerator while you prepare the topping.
• Make the topping by melting the semisweet chocolate and white chocolate in separate bowls. Dip each truffle in the melted semisweet chocolate and allow to try. Drizzle the truffles with the melted white chocolate and refrigerate. Serve cold.
