Chocolate Easter Truffles Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Truffle ingredients \u2013 makes approximately 30 – 36<\/strong><\/p>\n

-200g dark good quality chocolate<\/p>\n

-60ml double cream<\/p>\n

-80g unsalted butter<\/p>\n

-Truffle cases<\/p>\n

Method for all truffles<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a double saucepan (or a Pyrex bowl in a saucepan), place chocolate, butter and cream. Heat through slowly until smooth whilst whisking. Remove from heat and divide into 5 equal portions, adding the various flavourings to each individual portion as below. Place in the fridge to set \u2013 overnight if possible.<\/p>\n

Filling & coating ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yutaka Shaoxing rice wine flavouring<\/strong><\/p>\n

-2 tbs Shaoxing rice wine warmed<\/p>\n

-Vermicelli for coating<\/p>\n

Yutaka Wasabi Furikake flavouring<\/strong><\/p>\n

-2 tbs Yutaka Wasabi Furikake<\/p>\n

-Drinking chocolate for coating<\/p>\n

Yutaka Pickled Sushi Ginger flavouring<\/strong><\/p>\n

-2 tbs chopped Yutaka sushi ginger<\/p>\n

-Cocoa for coating<\/p>\n

Yutaka Yuzu flavouring<\/strong><\/p>\n

-2 tsp Yutaka Yuzu<\/p>\n

-100g white chocolate – gently melted for coating<\/p>\n

Miso caramel sauce filling <\/strong><\/p>\n

-75g sugar<\/p>\n

-25ml water<\/p>\n

-50ml double cream<\/p>\n

-1 tbs Yutaka Miso<\/p>\n

-100g dark chocolate \u2013 gently melted for coating<\/p>\n

-Pink salt crystals for sprinkling on the top\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miso caramel flavouring method <\/strong><\/p>\n

Put sugar and water in a heavy bottomed saucepan, stir and leave on a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel in colour. Carefully add double cream (it will hiss a little) and whisk whilst off the heat, add miso paste and whisk thoroughly until smooth. Add 2 tbs of miso caramel sauce to the remaining truffle mixture.\u00a0 The remainder of the sauce saved and used over ice cream for a delicious dessert.<\/p>\n

To finish the truffles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remove the various truffle mixes from the fridge and, with a teaspoon, scoop out a goodly amount. Roll into a ball and place on a plate (remembering to keeping the various flavours separate) and continue until all the mixture has been used.<\/p>\n

Roll the ginger truffles in cocoa and place in truffle cases.\u00a0 Roll the Wasabi Furikake in drinking chocolate and the rice wine truffles in vermicelli and return to fridge.<\/p>\n

Using a double boiler (or Pyrex bowl in a saucepan) melt the white chocolate over a low heat and, when removed from the heat & cooled slightly, spoon over Yuzu truffles until coated.\u00a0\u00a0 You can use a cocktail stick pushed carefully into a truffle to help you turn and coat with the chocolate.\u00a0 This needs patience!\u00a0 Leave them to set on a plate.<\/p>\n

Melt the dark chocolate and coat the Miso caramel truffles as above.\u00a0 Sprinkle a couple of pink salt crystals on the top.<\/p>\n
