I love making candy for the holiday and I want to make boxes of different flavored truffles for gifts... this recipe and photo from the Food Channel Ingredients:
1/3 cup whipping cream |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon rum or brandy flavoring |
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into chunks |
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate |
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening |
6 ounces almonds, finely ground |
Directions:
1. 1. Heat the whipping cream and butter together just to a simmer, then add chocolate. Remove from heat while chocolate melts. Add flavoring. Stir until glossy and pour into a chilled bowl. Set aside until firm.
2. 2. Once firm, use a small melon baller and scoop ganache out. Roll by hand and set aside.
3. 3. Melt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until melted; microwave additional seconds as needed. Drop each ball individually into chocolate, roll with a fork until coated, then use the fork to lift out and place into a bowl with the finely ground almonds. Roll around until coated, then lift out and place on parchment. Chill and keep refrigerated.
