Belgian chocolate truffles
The filling:
2.5 dl full cream
125 g of butter
400 g of fondant chocolate
hazelnuts
Grand Marnier
Bring the cream to the boil and add the butter. Reduce the
heat and melt cubes of chocolate in the butter cream. Add a
few tablespoons of finely ground hazelnuts. Now, if desired, a
shot of Grand Marnier can be added, but it is not necessary.
Pour the ganache into a glass bowl, leave it covered to cool to
room temperature and then put the bowl away in the fridge
until the contents have set.
Melt the chocolate au bain-marie. Take the ganache out of the
fridge and scoop out balls with a teaspoon. Put the balls one
by one on a cocktail stick and dip them completely in the
melted chocolate. Allow to drip off and then roll the balls
through the cocoa powder.
Place the truffles on baking paper on a flat serving plate and
set aside in a cool place until use.
