Ingredients
300 ml | Cream |
500 g | Dark chocolate, must be 72% cocoa (Main) |
1 bunch | Fresh mint (Main) |
150 g | Butter, diced |
150 g | Honey, use clear honey |
¼ cup | Pistachio nuts, or almonds, for rolling the truffles in |
Directions
- Heat up the cream. Crush the mint leaves with a wooden spoon to release their flavour and add to the hot cream.
- Keep on a very gentle heat for 5 minutes then set aside for another 5 minutes to allow the mint to infuse.
- Break up the chocolate into small pieces. Place in a bowl, adding the diced butter and the honey.
- Strain the hot minted cream through a sieve over these ingredients and stir until all the chocolate has melted.
- Pour this into a shallow dish or pan and chill in the fridge until firm.
- Finely chop pistachio nuts or almonds and spread them across a dinner plate.
- Roll the truffle mix into balls and roll these in the nuts to coat.
- Store covered in the fridge until ready to serve. Depending on the size of your truffles this should yield around 50, more than enough to give away for Christmas.
