Guest Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Hi Has anyone got a tried and tested SIMPLE foolproof recipe for chocolate truffles which the kiddies can make as a gift for Christmas. Did have a recipe many moons ago, came to look for it, and it's disappeared did have a go at a different (grown up) recipe at home - but it wasn't as easy as my original. Be glad of any help.......................
Lorna Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 yes at school- will try and remember to bring it home L
apple Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 HI there I was jsut surfing around to see if I could find a truffle recipe and came across this (American?) website. There seems to be some interesting activities on here? Sorry got a bit way laid as you do. IS there a recipe for truffles using cocoa powder and condensed milk? http://www.recipegoldmine.com/childcraft/childcraft.html
Guest Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I posted one the other day that is dead easy and yummy too! Too tired to look for link but it was on a thread called something like simple recipe needed. Basically, melt chocoalte and butter over hot water, mix in icing sugar and cake crumbs (but we used cdigestives that the children enjoyed crushing!) then mould into balls and roll in sugar strands... enjoy
Deb Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Hi Found Pandemonium's recipie so have copied it - sounds great, like the idea of the children crushing the digestive biscuits in place of the cake crumbs. Deb For 10 truffles... 100g/4oz chocolate drops (white or plain) 25g/1oz butter 25g/1oz icing sugar 50g/2oz plain cake crumbs 2tbsp desiccated coconut 2tbsp chocolate sugar strands Small paper cake cases Melt chocolate and butter in bowl over hot water (or however you usually do it) Sift in the icing sugar, add cake crumbs and mix well. Leave to cool until firm and thick. Put coconut and strands on separate plates. Scoop a teaspoon of mixture and drop onto a plate, roll it around until it is covered in cocnut/strands. Put in cake case. Leave to chill in fridge for 30 mins or until firm.
Guest Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Thanks everyone - I knew I would be able to rely on you to come up with the goods. Going to have a trial run this weekend (any excuse for chocolate overload!!!!
