Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
☑ Before Getting Started
Use a Large Skillet with a Flat Bottom. This allows for quicker reduction times during the reduction process, as the larger surface area facilitates faster evaporation of liquids.
Step 1 Start by adding heavy cream, sweetener and butter in a large skillet and bringing the mixture to a slight boil. Once boiling, set to low heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened. Occasionally lightly stir with a spatula.
Step 2 Pour the truffle mixture into a bowl and swift in cocoa powder. Transfer the chocolate truffle to a molding dish of your choice and place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until hardened.
Step 3 Once hardened in the fridge, dust some cocoa powder on top and then cut the truffle sheet into bite-size pieces.
Recipe Variations
When it comes to recipe variations, there are a few simple tweaks to cater to different tastes. If you prefer a richer flavor, opt for Dark Chocolate by incorporating More Cocoa Powder into the truffle mix. For a subtle twist, consider Vanilla Chocolate by adding a few drops of Vanilla Extract, infusing the truffles with a delightful creamy vanilla essence. Each variation offers a unique flavor profile while retaining the indulgent essence of homemade chocolate truffles!
