Note to self, must make more next year! Very easy to make, delicious and using condensed milk instead of cream makes them keep for longer.
Chocolate and almond truffles
500g good quality dark chocolate
a small tin of condensed milk
1 tsp almond extract
crushed almonds
Put the chocolate and condensed milk in a bowl over boiling water and melt very gently. When melted, take off heat, add almond extract and crushed almonds and leave to cool. When cool enough to keep their shape, roll into balls, roll the balls in some cocoa powder and put in the fridge to harden.
These are the flat bottomed ones I made when the mixture was still a bit too warm to keep its shape. The perfectly round ones have already been packed away in a hamper for one very lucky lady!
They sound delicious and the recipe sounds really easy.
ReplyDeleteRolling them can be a bit messy, but I was surprised how quick and easy they were to make. Can't wait to try different flavours next year! :)
