Ingredients
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 3.5 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 1/4 cup superfine sugar, caster sugar, see substitution in post
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 jar chestnuts, 14.8 oz.
For garnish
- cocoa powder
- coconut
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Place chocolate in microwave safe bowl. Melt in microwave, 30 seconds, stir. Keep putting it in at 10 seconds bursts, stirring in between until melted.
- Place chestnuts in a mini chopper, or a food processor and process until smooth. Stirring and scraping sides. This is optional, but produces a creamy texture for the truffles, with no chunks.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly.
- Add chestnuts and combine. Lastly, add the chocolate and combine thoroughly.
- If dough seems very sticky, refrigerate for an hour, or so. Roll between palms into balls. Then roll each ball into coconut, or cocoa powder, sprinkles or nuts.
- Can be stored in refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer for longer storage.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Can be stored refrigerated, for up to 7 days.
- Can be frozen in airtight containers for about 1 month.
- Rolling is much easier if dough is cold.
- Roll the balls into desired topping or sprinkles as soon as you are done rolling them.
