Milk Chocolate Truffles Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Milk chocolate, Belgian preferred - finely chopped |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Whipping cream |
| 1/2 cup | 99g / 3.5oz | Butter - in small chunks |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Grated lemon zest or grated orange zest |
| 1/2 cup | 55g / 1.9oz | Cocoa powder - for garnish |
Microwave chocolate at half power to melt completely, stirring a few times to ensure even melting, 2 to 3 minutes.
Heat cream in saucepan over medium-low heat just to a simmer, but not boiling, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over melted chocolate and stir from center to mix evenly. Add butter and zest and stir until thoroughly combined.
Cover and refrigerate 3 hours. This will allow any remaining air bubbles to work their way out.
Using small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop truffle mix and form into round balls using your hands; work quickly, because the chocolate will begin to melt as it warms. (Latex gloves are recommended.) Roll each truffle in cocoa powder and store in refrigerator until serving.
