Spiced Chocolate Truffles
Prep Time
2 hours 30 minutes (30 minutes hands-on)
Number of Servings
Serves 10
Ingredients
- 16 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Simply Organic Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Simply Organic& Cinnamon
- [q:1/2] tsp Simply Organic Nutmeg
- [q:1/4] tsp Simply Organic& Cloves
- Ideas for rolling:
- crushed candy canes
- sprinkles
- cocoa powder
- nuts
Directions
- Into a large heat-safe bowl, add chopped chocolate, then set aside.
- Into a small saucepan over medium heat, add heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Heat until just beginning to simmer (do not let it come to a boil), then remove from heat.
- Pour over chopped chocolate and cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until chocolate is completely melted.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours, until chocolate is set.
- Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion truffles into balls, then roll between your hands. For best results, use food-safe gloves (this will get very messy!). If truffles start to melt, transfer to freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Roll truffles in your favorite toppings. Store in refrigerator.
