You only need three things to make these Mint Chocolate Truffles, and you can do it all in the microwave. The best treat for chocolate and mint fans!
Ingredient
– 100ml double cream– 200g milk chocolate, broken into piece– ¼ tsp peppermint essence (we used Sainsbury's)– icing sugar, for rolling
Direction
1
Be sure to mix your full-fat coconut milk before heating. Heat coconut milk in a medium saucepan till simmering. Lower heat.
2
The hot cream should be flavored with chocolate chips or dark chocolate that has been diced.
3
Keep stirring until it melts. Put in the mint oil. Right now you can add salt or a little vanilla powder if you want to. Mix everything together. A little more chocolate should be in your chocolate.
4
Put the melted chocolate into a glass bowl (or another bowl that can handle heat). Put your truffle mix in the fridge for two to three hours with the plastic wrap on top.
5
Form truffles with a small ice cream scoop or metal spoon. Warm hands by rolling. It depends on truffle size, but I made 12 truffles.
6
You can now refrigerate or dip truffles in melted chocolate. Melt chocolate in small plates in the microwave for 30-40 seconds, stirring between 10 seconds.
7
Sprinkle green and/or white sprinkles on truffles immediately after dipping. Too much time and the chocolate will solidify and the sprinkles won't stay.
8
To ensure that the exterior of the truffles becomes a solid chocolate shell, place them in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
